Kody Swanson                                                         

On a night when he was in a class of his own on the Salem Speedway high banks, Kody Swanson put himself in a class of his own in the record books.

The Kingsburg, California native led the 59th “Joe James/Pat O’Connor Memorial” from start to finish in a landslide, perhaps the best on-track performance he’s displayed of all 24 of his series victories, to surpass Jack Hewitt and become the USAC Silver Crown division’s winningest driver.

Swanson set additional records, including notching his fifth consecutive series win, which passed the four-straight wins accomplished by Hewitt in 1986 and Tom Bigelow between 1975 and 1976.  His third-straight “James/O’Connor” triumph slotted him into exclusive company as only the second driver to win that many consecutively.  Pancho Carter won four-in-a-row between 1974 and 1977.

Twenty-one of those 24 wins have come behind the wheel of the DePalma Motorsports/Bob Hampshire-wrenched No. 63.  Hampshire was also the crew chief on Hewitt’s win streak and the majority of his Silver Crown wins over the years.  Swanson is quick to credit his crew on the Lima, Ohio-based team.  It’s something he doesn’t take for granted.

“It’s so hard to believe,” Swanson exclaimed.  “It’s what you dream about and what you wish for, but you never really give it a real chance.  Silver Crown cars have long been my favorite, so to be on that list is special, let alone be at the top.  But I didn’t do it alone, though.  Not a single one.”

Second guest…

        
            Jon Stanbrough 

After over 38 years of racing Jon has decided this will be his last full season of racing.  Now, we are not calling this Retirement because as most of you are aware, a driver can never really retire from this career.

Jon Stanbrough is one of the best in the business and has many records and achievements to show it.  He has had a very rewarding career with many, many  great memories!  The support from fans and sponsors has been overwhelming and is what keeps a driver going.  We are not saying that after this year you will not be seeing “The Bro Show” in a sprint car, but it could be few and far between.  Being the final season for Stanbrough merchandise, we will have some special designs for all of our fans.

The cars this year will look a little different as we will be going back to the very first 81 design that Jon started with.  This car design will be exciting for many that have watched him over the years and will take them back to those first races.  This is always a hard decision for a driver to make, but we are looking forward to what life will continue to offer.   Our plan is the same as every year prior, to run as many races as possible and to travel when able for our fans.  We so greatly appreciate our sponsors who come back year after year to support us and make this possible.  Team JSR will not be in Florida this year which was a planned decision, but will be ready when April rolls around.  Jon will running other sprint cars at non-sanctioned shows as well as he has done in the past.  We look forward to seeing all of you and sharing in this special season.
