#44 Skoal Bandit owned by Sam Moses, driven by Ronnie Swyers. Qualifying laps for the Portland Rose Cup "Vintage" race group. Race on 6-18-2011.
This weekend is the culmination of a multi- year effort preparing the Bandit to compete in the Rose Cup race. The car is entered in the Vintage race reserved for older and often historic race cars, and also in the "Rose Cup" driven on Sunday afternoon. The fastest and most powerful cars compete in this race and while the Bandit is dated, the car and crew have heart and the primary goal is to make and finish in "The Show." The sound of it's tightly wound smallblock Chevy engine and the fact that the Bandit has a racing career of almost 30 years makes the green monster with the black hat a crowd pleaser.
