hmmm are we talking about Kevin Swindell or Tony Stewart (a few years back) I seem to have forgotten.:kookoo2:

Congrats to Kevin Swindell for a good run at The Chili Bowl. Unfortunately, one spot from a transfer and ironically behind KKK.

Jason Knoke! Those graphics are fabulous!!!!!:rolling:

To make a more accurate quote of Ron White about this Kevin Swindell situation:

You can't fix Stupid.

Seems like Kevin is very popular on this board. Lots of young drivers get over there head and crash somtimes taking other comnpetiters, These days its called a learning curve. I guarentee in a couple years all will be forgotten. Hell I remember in the early 80's when Dale Earnhardt was a brutal villan........Now he is a IKON. Is it not funny how time seems to change peoples opinion.:angry-smiley-007::angry-smiley-007:

If that's how it's done these days, then I'll take the "OLD DAYS" where repeated stupid acts got you punched in the snoot and you learned real quick to use your head.

What happened to respecting yours & other peoples equipment?

Well said, I'm of that time too. Thats what i see happening and don't really care for the method but it goes on all over the country on many levals..........Kind of sux!:thumbsdown:

This past week I saw a woman about the same age as Kevin's mother at the Chili Bowl wearing a back brace due to recent spinal surgery. She had difficulties getting into and out of the bleachers. Sometimes her husband was unable to be right on the spot to assist her, and she received help from other people close by. One such person who helped this women get out of the bleachers was Kevin Swindell. The woman later went to Kevin's pit specifically to thank him again. He was so polite to her.
Thanks again, Kevin, for helping Grandma Kim !!

Nice touch to the story there Steve! With Kevins great drive at the Chili Bowl I wish him the best, he did a great job and nothing that we could question this time out. If he keeps it up I will take back all I ever said about him being a punk. That is awsome he helped out GmaKim. Thanks for sharing!

Sometimes people learn their lesson. Kevin was dealt a pretty serious punishment towards the end of the year. Hopefully, it was a wake up call. And if it was, he deserves the benefit of the doubt. He's always had the talent and from the looks of things, decided that this week, he would get by on that alone. And, IMO, the duel between he and the National Driver of the Year was the best of the A-Main. And hearing a story, like that, from someone (POCF) who is a credible source to me, as far as my opinion goes, means he might be headed in the right direction.
