There was never a 3-car sprint team sponsored by TMC; however, Sammy's TMC1, Hillenburg's 2 and McDermott's 3 were good looking cars with a coincidental number sequence and car color.

Big Game Motorsports; moving forward in a professional manor.

Effective July 1, 2010 Big Game Motorsports will be making a permanent driver change. Sammy Swindell will drive the Big Game Treestands #1 through the balance of the 2010 season. We feel Sammy can bring a wealth of knowledge and experience as well as continuing to enhance our company representation and professionalism on and off the track. Our customers, including Bass Pro Shops, Cabela's, Gander Mountain, and Dick's Sporting Goods, just to name a few, demand a very positive marketing approach and it's our job to give it to them. Our motorsports division is a very small segment of our business but it is something we have a great deal of passion for. We feel that we've always had the equipment in place to win Outlaw and other big races, but we are now hoping to build on this; moving forward in a positive direction.

The entire staff at Big Game would like to thank Terry McCarl for his past years with us and wish him nothing but the best as he moves forward in his racing career. Terry and I have been great friends and have had a lot of great times and success together through the past 12 years. Terry has a great passion for the sport and is very independent and will do great running his own team again. Sometimes these types of changes work out best for all involved and we think that will be the case here.

A schedule for the Big Game #1 will be out very soon; we are planning on running most of the World of Outlaw schedule, but will be leaving some openings to stray off and run a few additional races throughout the country.

The Big Game® Treestands/Karavan Trailers/Aggressive Hydraulics #7 will stay business as usual. Paul Johnson with Aggressive Hydraulics and Scott Boyd with Karavan Trailers provide a tremendous amount of support to this team and I would like to thank them. The #7 will continue to run the entire World of Outlaw schedule and we look forward to a successful finish to 2010.

Come on Brad! You don't remember when all 3 showed up to the Winter Nationals at the Bowl in the #1, 2 and 3? All Challengers, all black, all gold leaf numbers? I can't swear to each saying TMC on the hood & wing but I thought they all did at that event.

Coincidence? No. 3 different owners & each with sponsorship from the same direction.

So does this mean Big Game is moving forward into a professional mansion?

I was so happy to see GLAD BRAD... had to leave a comment for the big man from ARK.

Interesting what you highlighted. Sometimes a car owner could say something without saying something, huh?

It's ok... I think when that lottery ticket hits I now have another driver on my team. Wayne Johnson and Terry McCarl might win some races, huh? Can't keep typing.. .gotta run to the convenience store for a ticket...

i sure hope the rumors are true and TMAC is out of the 24. I only pray that his kid gets to keep his ride. He has improved greatly and doesnt have that cocky jerk personality. Id rather watch him race then his dad any day. Terry just hasnt been fast the last times i saw him at knoxville. Sammy has been bad fast everywhere. Wish he would run at knoxville more often.

If you are questioning if its true or not go to www.terrymccarl.com It will be fun to watch Terry drive the wheels off his own sprinter to show that he hasnt lost anything! Go TMac!!!!!!!!

hadnt read that thanks for clearing it up. hate to burst your bubble but terry didnt look that good practicing tonight at knoxville but who knows. So glad Sammy has been fast again, there for awhile it seemed he was about done.

Interesting press release from the owner of Big Game. As a spokesman for that company he needs to first check his spelling and use of grammar. That release is less than professional in presentation. If the company is seeking a more corporate presence in the world of automobile racing, selecting Mr. Swindell over Mr. McCarl for that purpose is absurd. Mr. Swindell is without a doubt one of the finest to ever strap into any kind of a race car. His racing accomplishement resume is absolutely awesome. But having Mr. Swindell as a spokesperson, a front person, a drum beater for a product line or service is not in the field of his expertise. Mr. Swindell is NOT a people person from previous experiences in the past 30 some odd years. Mr. McCarl is also a very, very good sprint car driver and likewise his career behind the wheel can not be questioned. Mr. McCarl, however, IS a people person and has the experience of meeting with people, motivating people, selling people and entertaing people. Mr. McCarl is, among other things, a SHOWMAN. What ilk would a business owner, who wanted a presence for his product / service, want to showcase his wares? Mr. Swindell and Mr. McCarl will continue to win races but when the owner of Big Game selected a RACER over a SHOWMAN, it is like asking Al Capone to assist you with your income taxes.

In the last ten years dollansky has thirty wins. He failed to finish in the top twenty only two times. Five top five in point. Eight top ten in point. He best year was 2008 second in point with six wins. Not bad! I would love to have a career like that. There are always going to be driver who are middle of the pack type drivers. you have kinser, meyers, saldana and schatz who have the backing. Lasoski, dollansky that can run up front just not as much as some other. Sam hafertepe remines me alittle of dollansky. Just my two cents
