THE LIFE

Kody Swanson, hailing from the town of Kingsburg, California, is a motorsports legend with an insatiable passion for speed. Born on March 3, 1988, Kody's journey through life has been nothing short of remarkable. His academic prowess shone through as a President's Honors Scholar at California State University, Fresno, where he graduated Magna Cum Laude with a BS in Agriculture Economics in 2010. Yet, it's on the racetrack where Kody truly shines. With an impressive 7x USAC Silver Crown Championship record and numerous wins under his belt, he's etched his name in racing history. Kody’s dedication extends beyond the track, as he actively serves in his church community, engages with the Indiana Racing Memorial Association, Hoosier Auto Racing Fan Club, as well as participating in many other charitable events. Kody Swanson, the epitome of talent, dedication, and heart, continues to inspire and dominate the world of motorsports.

Antron Brown dreamed of driving one of the world’s most iconic racecars, but never truly believed that one day he would, let alone win three world championships. His vibrant personality, perseverance, intelligence, athleticism and deeply held religious convictions helped plot the course to getting a job driving in NHRA drag racing’s ultimate category of Top Fuel in 2008. And just four years later, the New Jersey native was crowned the 2012 NHRA Top Fuel world champion along with his Matco Tools teammates at DSR. Achieving that championship milestone enabled Brown to become the first African-American to win a major U.S. auto racing season championship. That accomplishment, coupled with his commitment to helping young Americans, earned him two prestigious honors in 2013.
