Prayers go out to "The Bulldog" Kevin Swindell who was life lined out of Knoxville Raceway tonight and is complaining that he can't feel his legs! May God be with him, Sammy, Amy, and the entire family! Hate to see this!

We were at Knoxville last night and Kevin WAS NOT Lifelined from the Speedway. He was removed from the car and transported to the Knoxville hospital. Now how or if he was transported from that location, I do not know. Reportedly, he was complaint of numbness and tingling in his lower extremities.

Hoping and praying Kevin recovers quickly!!

It's been reported that he was flown out after being removed from the car. No discussion to extent of concern, or injuries.

Dave "The Godfather" Moody reports: Driver Kevin Swindell is hospitalized in Des Moines Mercy Hospital with unspecified injuries, after a heat-race crash at the Knoxville Nationals last night.

The son of Sprint Car legend Sammy Swindell was airlifted from the race track after a flip at the start of his qualifying heat. His car impacted the outside retaining wall, before landing on its wheels. His family issued a statement last night, saying he is undergoing treatment but offering no specifics on his injuries.

There are unconfirmed reports that he underwent surgery earlier today.

In addition to his Sprint Car exploits, the 26-year old Tennessee native has made 30 career starts in the NASCAR XFINITY Series, with a top finish of eighth at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 2013. He is also two-time winner in the ARCA Racing Series.
