For 1975 team owner Bay set Swanson up with engineer Jerry Eisert, an IndyCar veteran crew chief. The team replaced the aging T192 chassis with a newer T332 chassis. After a test at Rattlesnake Raceway, the team entered the first race of the 1975 SCCA/USAC Formula 5000 Championship. At Pocono International Raceway Swanson qualified eleventh and finished the race in seventh place, behind Bobby Unser. Swanson was a frequent top ten qualifier and scored impressive results. He scored his first, and only, podium finish at Watkins Glen International. Qualifying fourth the Indiana native finished third in the race, behind Al Unser and race winner Brian Redman. After this success Dan Gurney signed Swanson to contest the 1976 Indy 500 with All American Racers.
The racing career of Swanson was cut short by a fatal accident at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in 1975. During the weekend Swanson was very strong, qualifying seventh and placing fourth in the heat race. At the start of the race the throttle stuck open. Swanson made a heavy impact with the guardrail. As the lower guardrail broke, the upper guardrail hit the helmet of the racing driver. The race continued while Dan Gurney, head of the rescue crew, extricated Swanson from the car. In life-threatening condition Swanson was rushed to Mansfield General Hospital in nearby Mansfield, Ohio. Swanson succumbed to his wounds two days later on 13 August 1975. A memorial service was held at Saint Joseph's Catholic Church in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
