Inside Line Promotions – LEXINGTON, Tenn. (July 5, 2017) – Sammy Swindell capped last weekend with a runner-up result on Sunday at Lexington 104 Speedway during his debut at the track.

Swindell, who was driving for A.G. Rains, kicked off the USCS Series event by maneuvering from fourth to second place in a heat race. That lined him up on the outside of the front row for the main event.

“We started second with Derek Hagar on the pole,” he said. “The racing groove was narrow off turn four and he got the jump on the start. I could almost get around him around the corner, but he’d come up down the straightaways and I’d have to follow him. We both had trouble with lapped cars, but I just didn’t get a good opportunity to get by him. He didn’t make any mistakes or enough of a mistake to get by so we settled for second.”

It was a strong finish to the weekend after Swindell ran into trouble the previous night at Riverside International Speedway in West Memphis, Ark. He advanced from fifth to third place in the dash before winning a heat race. After lining up on the outside of the front row for the main event, Swindell quickly rocketed into the lead before enduring an untimely end.

“We were real quick again like the week before when we had the tire problem,” he said. “We were rolling right along. Everything was going pretty good. I was third in points after the heat races and they inverted four so that started me second in the A Main. I got out front right away. About the fourth lap I came up to lap a guy. He turned down onto me and took our front end out.”

It marked the second straight race at Riverside International Speedway when Swindell was leading only to run into a DNF. He was credited with a 19th-place finish.

Swindell was also slated to race last Sunday at Clayhill Motorsports in Atwood, Tenn., but the event rained out.
