At the beginning of the year I posted about slowing down racing so we could focus on other important things in our life...
This is one of those important things ☝🏼

Our first round of therapy a few years ago he could NEVER pull his knee up and curl his leg back. Y’all, NEVER GIVE UP.

This morning our best friend went to puppy heaven. For almost 10 years, Fred licked away our tears. He put us back together over and over again. We made every life decision for him. We even got Bernie for him. He was our protector. The prettiest, most perfect puppy dog ever 💔
I’m TOO emotional and SO happy for
@KevinSwindell
. One of the biggest struggles he’s had is his success has been determined by someone else the last few years and tonight he got to be successful all on his own ❤️ We get it isn’t real to some of you but dang it it’s so cool ☝🏼🏁
I watched all 55 laps.
Inside a tractor. In the infield.
I almost kicked the window out when the caution came out.
I have no words. Love y’all. I love you

Chili Bowl has obviously always meant so much to our family but heading towards Tulsa a lot less mentally heavy than normal.
I wish it all magically got easier but Paralysis is hard. Having your life turned upside down is hard. Being in that building is hard…. Because if
Logie. Thank you so much for sticking this out with us over the last few years.
I made a deal in Cheesecake Factory that if he won me a driller I’d let him run some wing races.
Best damn deal ever.
Pulled my credit card statement up and for the second year in a row... someone paid for our hotel room in Knoxville. Tears in my eyes of how sweet people are to us in that town. To whom ever you are: thank you ❤️
It’s really cool to give someone a chance and this be the result.
Damn proud of

is 👊🏼
So, our waiter tonight was asking our story. How
@KevinSwindell
was hurt. What we do now. He listens to it all and says “you made history in your past but what you’re doing now makes you legendary.”
You never know how you’re impacting someone’s day ❤️
Kevin is out of surgery and doing fine. All hardware removed. They apparently put cement in him. He’s going to be unhappy they added weight without his consent 😉
Thank you for all the prayers. Seems this is never ending but we are so grateful for all the love ❤️
1:25AM: DIRT FANS PLEASE STOP COMPLAINING. You want our sport to be nationally televised for real in the future? Don’t complain about spotters, it’s not real, the field.... support this so we all can prove our real racing deserves this attention ALL the time.
Swindell Speedlab is slow Unfortunately… it’s a shame watching CBell just fade everytime they race. They better find some speed in the lab because Bell is way better than that!
I’ve never been bailed out of jail but honestly it has to be comparable to the feeling of leaving the hospital.
Few more days here but at least out of the land of no sleep and beeps. Time to heal 💜
After Kev got hurt, I thought chili bowl would forever be hard. Seeing the

back on the track and the endless amount of speedlab stuff everywhere seemed to erase it. We are so blessed, y’all. Thanks for the love all week!
It’s cool to see
@KevinSwindell
racing again. *sim racing or not*
Makes my heart happy for him he’s able to adapt to so many different ways of doing things and still finds a way to be good at all of it.
I want y’all all to promise me that when
@KevinSwindell
makes the come back.... you will act the same way you did 5 years ago.... They building better explode with boo’s 😂
Things didn’t pan out to night the way we wanted but I’m am so proud of

We don’t race all the time. He doesn’t have a ton of notes. But damn it do we have a fast racecar.
Thanks for making us look good,

asked me to live this wild life with him 💍
10/15/16 - we took the biggest chance of starting our own sprint car team.
Pretty cool we’ve figured out how to make it work.. ya know the marriage thing and sprint car team 😏
3 years ago, our life was turned upside down. Never have I been more proud and thankful for life than I am today. What we’ve created and how hard

has worked to make our life okay is nothing short of amazing

Also my cheeks hurt from smiling as much as I have this week 😬

The most driven, intelligent, hard working human ♥️
You deserve all the good in the world. Thankful to be by your side through it all.
Our Fred was rushed into surgery to have a mass and his spleen removed Monday night. Best possible news is that whatever is going on hasn’t spread and our baby is finally coming home 😭
Keep our buddy in your prayers as we wait for the biopsy results.
Wanted to share my thoughts here too. It’s the working all week to work all weekend and have your mental health determined by a result that sometimes is out of your control.
Takes a different kind of mental toughness to be in racing. Thank you for speaking out
@JacobAllen1a

Already an hour behind schedule. Lookin like an hour before we go back. Doctor gave me a 2 to 6 hour window for surgery. Anxious is really not a good enough word 🫠🙂
We’ve ran the sprint car 3 times this year. Pretty damn proud of my dudes.
P2 but won the “normal people” race tonight 😂
Headed home to ship a few hundred cases of

7 years of marriage and we haven’t killed each other yet.

The single most fun thing I’ve ever gotten to do.
I love this building. Also if your kid was a mini rowdy tonight send them over so I can get them a free can of

This late model vs sprint car thing... I could argue both sides. Have you seen sprint cars at Eldora? Have you seen late models at Eldora? Both equally badass.
Our world would be so much better if fans could enjoy it all.
Made it completely through today without realizing what day it is. Four years have passed since
@KevinSwindell
‘s accident...
Honestly though I’ve never been more thankful or proud of our life than I am right now.
We haven’t been home since Christmas morning. 3 miles from our exit on an 18 hour travel day through a winter storm.
@KevinSwindell
got us home before the sun came up.
I literally could cry of happiness 😂❤️
I have lots of thank you’s to send out but I want to start by thanking
