Swindell; Next Australian Speedcar Champion?
Tuesday, 6 January 2009 - By Murray Bridge PR

Scheduled to compete in the Chili Bowl in mid-January, Swindell will then head Down Under to take on Australia and New Zealand's best in the immaculate Barry Graham Hawk powered machinery of ex-Australian Speedcar Champion, Steven Graham; on January 24th & 25th.

"We're excited to have Kevin coming back to Australia" says Graham on their plans. "Both Kevin and Sammy have run for us before in the Sprintcars, and now we have the opportunity to give Kevin a run in the Australian Speedcar Title. It's an important race for us and we want to be there".

Kevin, son of three-time National Sprint Car Champion Sammy Swindell, is certainly a 'name' in his own right having scored a number of major wins and accolades in his short career including his first World of Outlaws feature win at the record-breaking age of 17; plus numerous USAC Midget & Non-Wing Sprint feature wins, such as his 2-night clean sweep of the 'Cornhusker Midget Challenge' at Junction Motor Speedway Nebraksa in July 2008.

But fans this season no doubt love to recall Swindell's hard-charge during the final event of the 2008 Belleville Midget Nationals which saw Swindell begin an unbelievable run from 19th starting position, to challenge eventual winner Brad Sweet for the lead mid-race, before unfortunately cutting down a tire forcing his retirement. This no-holds barred driving style will certainly be something to watch when he hits the almost-Speedcar perfected soil of Murray Bridge Speedway!

"He'll definitely add a bit of spice to this year's Speedcar Title" finishes Steven Graham, on the young-gun American who could be Australia's next National Speedcar Champion!
