Swanson was the hometown favorite in victory circle at Stockton 99 Speedway in Stockton, California.
Stockton, California native Kody Swanson drives for his family team TK Motorsports - most of the time anyway. Swanson earned his first USAC Western Sprint victory of the year driving for Harvest Supply Racing. Swanson was the hometown favorite at Stockton 99 Speedway.
Kody Swanson got his first USAC Western Sprint victory of the year driving for Harvest Supply Racing.
"Our focus for TK Motorsports is going to be the USAC National Pavement Sprint Car races in 2010, so I was competing for Harvest Supply Racing on a 'drive-for-hire' type basis, so it was their team, crew and car, and thus their win," explains Swanson.
"My relationship with Carl Mott (owner of Harvest Supply), goes back to our first year in the USAC ranks, we competed with a motor that he was lending to us, so to win driving for him is a way for me to return the favor."
Swanson says he really appreciates the support for K&N regardless of whose car, or what division he’s driving or in.
"Getting the first win early in the season is always a big plus in my book," says Swanson. "It feels good, because you almost validate yourself as a legitimate competitor, and then you can just focus on winning races from there on out."
Swanson began racing in 2000, in the Junior Sprint Class. In 2002, he moved up to the Stock 600 class and began competing against adults and won his first Championship that year. Swanson won the Championship the next two years after that, and moved up to the USAC Western Sprint series, where he was crowned Rookie of the Year and Series Champion in 2005.
In 2008 he competed full-time on the USAC National Midget tour, bringing home a victory from Kenly, North Carolina for car owner, Steve Lewis. After Lewis' Nine Racing operation closed down for 2009, Swanson's focus shifted to the USAC Silver Crown series, where driving for Team 6R Racing, he finished 5th in series points and earned the Rookie of the Year title last season.
"One of my favorite accomplishments came at the end of 2006, when I won the Performance Racing Industry Sprint Classic in Orlando, Florida, driving my family's number 75 Sprint car," recalls Swanson.
"It was really special to have my family team at the top of a national level event. As far as career goals, I'm open for anything. Many young drivers only look at NASCAR for their future, but I definitely wouldn't mind an opportunity in the IRL either. I just want to race, and I'm really not that picky about the circumstances."
Swanson started his relationship with K&N while he was driving for Western Speed Racing at the end of 2006, in the USAC Midget division.
"We won our first race together at Altamont Motorsports Park in September, and went on to sit on the pole of the prestigious Turkey Night Grand Prix at Irwindale, in our first attempt. That night, I led 80 laps and ran second in the 100-lap event."
"At TK Motorsports we utilize the Carbon Fiber Sprint Air Box, as well as the high quality Wrench-Off oil filters that K&N has come out with. Harvest Supply Racing also used the Carbon Fiber Sprint Air Box during our feature winning run, so I'm happy to know that they too are getting the most out of their engine without sacrificing in terms of protection."
"I really appreciate the relationship that I have with K&N Filters, because they provide a quality product and have supported me no matter whose car I'm driving, or what division it's in," surmises Swanson

Max Gresham pulled out in front of Dillon and won the race by half a car length.
The chances of a rookie winning the NASCAR K&N Pro Series race at Iowa Speedway on Sunday were pretty good. Rookie drivers won the first two races of the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East season. There were 19 rookies entered in the 44-car field for the Goodyear Dealers of Iowa 200 which pitted drivers from the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East and West.
Drivers raced three-wide as they crossed the start-finish line for the final lap of the race.
Rookie Max Gresham won the race, his second in a row, and led a parade of rookies from the K&N Pro Series East in the top four. David Mayhew, who won the pole, was the highest finishing driver from the West Series in fifth.
Gresham joins Joey Logano, Brian Ickler and Kyle Busch as winners of the East and West Series combination race at Iowa Speedway.
"That's a very elite group of winners and I'm glad to add my name to it," the 17-year-old Gresham said.

The last lap of the race was a battle between Gresham, Ty Dillon and Corey LaJoie. The three drivers raced three-wide as they crossed the start-finish line for the final lap of the race. Gresham and Dillon pulled ahead of LaJoie as they made their way around the track. Gresham pulled out in front of Dillon and won the race by half a car length.
"I really didn't want to see that last restart because I had a pretty good lead," said Gresham, a development driver for Joe Gibbs Racing. "We were battling with (LaJoie) and (Dillon) and three wide heading into Turn 1. The next lap (Dillon) and I battling really close and rubbing is racing. That was a close finish."
Darrell Wallace Jr. passed LaJoie on the final lap to take third. LaJoie was fourth, followed by Mayhew.
"I can't thank Dillon enough for racing me clean," Gresham said.
Five rookie drivers, all from the East Series, finished in the top 10. For Dillon, it was his first top-five finish in three races this season.
"We put oursleves in a hole," Dillon said. "We were just trying to play it smooth, work our way up through there and have a good pit stop which we did. We've had a rough start to the season. This is awesome for us. We'll get a win."
Wallace posted his second top-five finish of the season. He won the East Series season opener at Greenville Pickens Speedway in South Carolina.
"It was pretty crazy; I'll tell you that," Wallace said. "I told myself not to give up too much in three coming to the checkered flag. I held them down there, and was able to pick off Mayhew and LaJoie and get a third-place finish."
Gresham took over the lead in the East Series standings. He won the East Series race at South Boston Speedway in Virginia and has a 13-point lead over Ryan Truex. Cole Whitt, who entered the Iowa Speedway race as the leader in the East Series standings and started on the front row with Mayhew, lost his transmission midway through the race and finished 38th.
Mayhew took over the lead in the West Series standings. He and Greg Pursley entered the Iowa Speedway race tied for the lead in the West Series standings.
Mayhew is credited with a win for being the highest-finishing driver from the West Series. He has a 57-point lead over Eric Holmes. Pursley dropped to third place in the West Series standings.
It was the third win in a row at Iowa Speedway for Mayhew. He led the most laps in the race at Iowa Speedway. Mayhew was out front for the first 72 laps of the race and regained the lead for 13 more laps starting on lap 119.
Mayhew was the highest-finishing driver from the West Series in last year's combination East and West Series race at Iowa Speedway. He also won the West Series race at Iowa Speedway in September.
The next race for the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West is June 5 at Douglas County Speedway in Roseburg, Ore. The next NASCAR K&N Pro Series East race is June 6 at Martinsville Speedway in Virginia.
Greist spent several years in the Skip Barber Race Series, where the Madison native won three series championships.
Virginia International Raceway (VIR) is located in Southern Virginia, between Danville and South Boston. ArmsUp Motorsports driver Revere Greist from Madison, Wisconsin, flat-out owned the track and the running of the SCCA Oak Tree National in the Formula Continental (FC) division. Greist won all six official sessions on the way to a double race victory, and a new FC lap record at the historic 3.2 mile Virginia road course.
ArmsUp Motorsports driver Revere Greist dominated the SCCA Oak Tree National in the Formula Continental division.
Greist, who finished second twice in last year's double format event, led the entire 14 lap first race from the pole this year, finishing with 17 second lead.
In Sunday's second race Greist would once again lead from the pole, running out to a comfortable lead. Continuing to push till the very end of the race, Greist set the new VIR FC lap record on the race's final lap at a 1:53.128.
"This was a really good weekend for the team and me," remarked Greist.
"We knew we had one of the quickest cars at the track from the word go, which allowed me to just focus on my driving, and making the car quicker. We were able to test a few different items throughout the weekend and the car kept getting better."
"Greist did a fantastic job at VIR in the car, he never put a wheel wrong all weekend and continued to push right up until the end to claim the new lap record for the FC car there. Revere and the ArmsUp team have been working very hard over the last season to improve the performance of the Van Diemen chassis and the weekend was just a continuation of that process," added Steve Welk ArmsUp Motorsports marketing manager.
Greist has been with ArmsUp Motorsports since the start of the 2008 season," continued Welk.
"After spending several years in the Skip Barber Race Series, where the Madison native won three series championships, Greist decided it was time for a new challenge and he entered the SCCA Formula Continental division, under the Guidance of ArmsUp Motorsports owner Gregg Borland. Borland knew Greist through Skip Barber, where Borland was an instructor and test driver – the match up was simple."
Since the beginning of the collaboration between ArmsUp and Greist, the pairing won the 2009 SCCA Central Division Championship, finished third in the SCCA National Championship Runoffs, and scored two podiums in the SCCA June Sprints.
Curious, we asked where the ArmsUp name came from?
"The ArmsUp name came from a bar game that team owner Gregg Borland and long time friend, and now team driving coach, Jim Pace, came up with when the two worked together for Skip Barber in the mid 90's. The actual game is a guarded secret and known only to team members and close friends," explains Welk.
"When Borland was still competing as a driver in the Barber Dodge Pro Series, he adopted the ArmsUp Motorsports name for his marketing company, and then carried it on when he opened the prep shop in 1998."
Team owner Borland says, "K&N Filters continue to provide ArmsUp Motorsports the best possible protection for our highly tuned race engines. K&N Air Filters are fitted to all of our race cars."
