This is the brand new car that Logan Payne of
Garland Texas, built for next year (but running
the LSN with it)... Since it's debut last week at
a local track for a break-in session, to the
postings on all our Facebook Pages, the
remarks have been unbelievable !!!!
Everything from reliving the "Slamming
Sammy" Swindell Black and Gold Leaf era to
"It's just absolutely the best looking car to hit
the track in a long, long time" ... We all know
Sprint Cars are not all about looks --- but it
sure makes a Team feel better when you can
unload this and present it to the fans, which
means the most to us all .... Thanks again to
everybody that has made this possible.
