Big Game Motorsports Driver Sammy Swindell Claims New Zealand Championship ~ Chili Bowl Next!

by Inside Line Promotions 
AUCKLAND, New Zealand | Dec. 4, 2013 - Big Game Motorsports pilot Sammy Swindell capped the year by claiming his first career Porter Hire International Sprintcar Series title.

Driving for Ron Salter, Swindell picked up his first-ever victory at Western Springs Speedway on Nov. 23 and he then charged from 15th to third last Sunday to earn the championship. It also marked the fourth track in New Zealand where Swindell has won at least one race.

“It all went real well,” he said. “We had a new car and they don’t give you any practice. You show up, they give you your heat spot and you go out and run. It makes it a little tough.”

by Bryan Hulbert
TULSA, OK | Dec. 9, 2013 - As the December 17 deadline for early entry looms, the number of drivers has begun to swell as the list of Golden Driller hopefuls stands at 137 drivers spread among 95 teams.

Tracy Hines is the first past driver champion to enter the 2014 Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals presented by General Tire. Topping the field in 2005 for Wilke-Pak, the Indiana native will be behind the wheel of the Bob Parker backed No. 24. Hines, with 12 Chili Bowl “A” Features to his credit, will also field a car in the coming Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals for C.J. Leary.

After a stirring performance that culminated in winning the 73rd Turkey Night Grand Prix, Dave Darland will look to add a Golden Driller to his list of accomplishments in 2014. Ten victories in 2013, Darland will take to the clay in the RW/Curb/Agajanian No. 17R. Dave’s best finish in 13 “A” Feature starts at the Chili Bowl came as a runner up in 2005 to Tracy Hines.
