Sammy Swindell and Joey Saldana Set Quick Times for Bad Boy Buggies World Finals
CONCORD, N.C. - Nov. 5, 2015 - Sammy Swindell and Joey Saldana kicked off the first night of the Bad Boy Buggies World Finals on Thursday by taking the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series qualifying quick times.
Against a 58-car field, the biggest the event has ever seen, Swindell scored his third quick time of 2015 in the qualifying session that set the field for Friday night. The three-time series champion had a fast lap of 12.506 seconds. Swindell said qualifying up front was critical heading into tomorrow night.
"It makes it a lot easier to get locked into the dash and get that good spot to start in the A main," said Swindell, who drives the No. 1 Big Game Tree Stands car for CJB Motorsports.
In the second qualifying session which set the field for Saturday, Saldana, the season's leading qualifier, picked up his 17th quick time of 2015 with a lap of 12.904 seconds. Saldana, who qualified his No. 71m Motter Equipment car third in the earlier session, said it helped to go out later the second time.
Going into Friday and Saturday, Saldana said the qualifying runs give him a lot of confidence.
"We've had fast cars all year - we just need to finish it off," Saldana said. "We've done it a few times but not enough. Hopefully we can do it again this weekend. It's a great venue to race at and a lot people get to see us that don't normally get to see us. I've been lucky enough to win here a couple of times… Hopefully we can do that in the next few days."
The World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series returns to action tomorrow night for night two of the Bad Boy Buggies World Finals. Find out more information and learn how to buy tickets at http://www.WorldofOutlawsWorldFinals.com.
