Swindell Sails to Win No. 11 with Dominant Performance at Grays Harbor

Dollansky Finishes Second to Maintain World of Outlaws Championship Points Lead

ELMA, Wash. – Aug. 29, 2012 – Things are getting back to normal for Sammy Swindell.

He found himself in Victory Lane for the second consecutive World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series event and the third time in the last five races on Wednesday night at the scenic Grays Harbor Raceway, which hosted its first Outlaws race since 2008.

It was his series-leading 11th victory of the season and moved him to a tie for second place in the championship standings – only 39 points behind leader Craig Dollansky.

“This is the best we’ve got so hopefully it just carries on through the rest of the year,” said Swindell, who hadn’t won at Grays Harbor Raceway since 1997.

“We did have maybe six, eight weeks there where we weren’t where we needed to be and was struggling some. We found out the reason for that and rectified that, fixed all that stuff and we’re back to where we were at the first part of the year.” (more…)
