This is the Stattmann Baby!!  Time to Scatt a little bit.

I was standing in the World of Outlaws pits in Las Vegas this week when a plain white truck pulls up and three-time Outlaw champ Sammy Swindell jumps out.

Not only does he win championships but he drives the truck that hauls his car that his son drives and wins with.

The Swindell story has more layers than an onion. 

When Sammy prepares the car he goes over it like a father making sure his son will be safe in a dangerous sport.  Someone told me Sammy knows more about Sprint Cars than anyone in the sport.

Wednesday night Dad was even in the parking lot of the Tropicana installing a new engine before son Kevin took a couple laps around the parking lot to check things out before the racing started on Thursday.

Before the racing was over, though, Sammy got in another car and hammered away like he’s going for a fourth championship even winning Friday night getting his 267th Outlaw win.

Swindell went into the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame this week.

He’s been in the Freak Hall for years or since he shared his rib recipe with us.

Peace…
