The Norco, California teen raced against 26 other competitors in a very
eventful event. There were 5 cautions in the 30 lap main. “On the first lap I
was able to pass five cars,” said Swanson. “I was moving through the field and
by lap 8, I was 12th.”

The top ten cars were running very close and it was difficult to pass. “It
was also very challenging to keep myself from getting passed,” said Swanson.
“The last caution occurred on lap 24 and the rest of the way was a fast dash to
the finish.”
On lap 25 the 16-year-old moved into 7th place and by lap 29 he moved into a very hard fought 6th place. “I was happy to finish just outside of the top 5,” said Swanson.
Swanson is sponsored by K&N Engineering. “The K&N Air Filter protects the high revving engine and allows it to breathe,” he said. “We also make awesome horsepower.”
