Swanson has won in USAC National midget cars. In 2020, he tested an Indy Pro 2000 car at La Crosse Fairgrounds Speedway with hopes that he might someday be considered for an Indianapolis 500 ride. Later that year, he would enter the Indy Pro 2000 race at the Carb Night Classic with Legacy Autosport and win in his series debut. 2021 brought Kody the AJ Foyt trophy while becoming only the second driver (Mike Bliss 93/94) to win in Midgets, Sprint Cars and Silver Crown competition at Indianapolis Raceway Park all in the same year.
