The SCAG Power Equipment Top Fuel Dragster Heads to Denver to Start ‘the Swing’

Morrison, CO – The Mile-High Nationals serves as the kick-off to the three-race Western Swing Schumacher is a nine-time winner on “the swing” with three Denver triumphs, four wins in Seattle, and two in Sonoma.

Schumacher is part of an elite group of seven Camping World Series competitors who can claim to have “swept the swing” when he won the trio of Denver/Sonoma/Seattle events in 2008

“Denver is one of my favorite tracks on the circuit. I love the facility, the surroundings, the Bandimere family. The Bandimeres are one of those families that have committed their lives to drag racing and have helped this sport so much, particularly with the Jr. racers. Anyone who is in my world, making it a better place, I appreciate so much, and that’s what they did.

“Obviously, Denver has its challenges with the altitude and conditions, but that’s one of the things I love about racing there. I love the difficulty of it. I’m one of the few people to have swept the swing, and that was a huge accomplishment that I’ll always be really proud of. Can’t wait to get back there for one last go-round. I’m going to go in early and fish, stay behind on the back end and fish, and hopefully I’ll be going onto our next race carrying a Wally.” explained Schumacher.
