Cody Swanson Motorsports

Cody headed to Ventura as the point leader on Saturday, October 6^th but by no measure did he think the championship was sealed. “I knew we would need to have another solid night to clinch the season’s championship” stated Cody. “We started the day off good with the heat race win, and then it was just a matter of watching the track and making the right adjustments for the feature.” Cody started the feature from the 4^th position and was running in the 3^rd position at the halfway point. Going down the front stretch his car popped and coasted to a stop. Cody’s race was over! “We are running a spare magneto because ours is out for service. Something happened in the spare and we lost ignition. Fortunately, with the heat race win and the consistency we have had throughout the year, we still won the Championship by 40 points.” Cody said. “Thanks to everybody that supports us. Thank you to Jeff Wahl and Edmunds Auto Research, I have learned a lot from you and I am proud to win this Championship with you. Thank you to Phil Goodwine and GOODWINE glass, your support and advice are priceless.To  Stewart and Tres VanDyne and VanDyne racing engines, I always have the power I need.Thank you for all your help.

Cody still has the “Turkey Night Grand Prix” at Perris on Thanksgiving night. to run and then hopes to start off 2013 with the “Chili Bowl”. Then current plans call for contesting the full 2013 USAC Western States Midget Series and if deals can be put together he would like to run as many sprint car events as possible.
