Inside Line Promotions – GERMANTOWN, Tenn. (Oct. 30, 2017) – Sammy Swindell and car owner A.G. Rains have made big gains on their 410ci winged sprint car program this season.
Despite only competing in a handful of 410 events, the team has closed the gap on the competition after not making a 410 start until July.
“We went from being a good eight tenths (of a second) off to down to about a quarter of a second off the last race,” Swindell said. “In our heat we were even closer than that before we had the driveline failure. I think we’ve come a long way.”
That’s a good sign as Swindell and Rains are slated to wrap up the 2017 season this Thursday through Saturday at The Dirt Track at Charlotte in Concord, N.C., for the Textron Off Road World Finals with the World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series.
“We’re making some changes on the motor and we definitely made a big improvement on it the last time we ran it,” Swindell said. “Hopefully we take another step forward. If everything is a positive I’m looking to have a good run over there.”
Swindell won the World Finals finale in 2012 and he’s posted podium finishes during the marquee event in 2011 and 2010.
“It’s a place where you have to carry a lot of momentum and be on a fine line,” he said. “You have to be real smooth because the track is almost a circle. If you can get your car to roll around there where you don’t have to do much with the throttle or steering input you can make up some time there.”
