AMSOIL USAC EASTERN STORM TOUR

The AMSOIL USAC wingless sprints are heading East.

Without a doubt, some of the most exciting sprint car racing you’ll see anywhere in the country is when the AMSOIL USAC wingless sprint cars hit the dirt. Tuesday night, June 5 the NAPA Auto Parts Thunder on the Hill Racing Series will present opening night of the 6th Annual AMSOIL Eastern Storm for the USAC wingless sprint cars. When USAC gets to the “hill”, you’ll see wheel-banging, cars bouncing off the wall, wheelies and three wide racing lap after lap, it’s just what they do best and for the competitors of USAC, this is just the norm. When you bring this group to an un-forgiving high banked bullring like Grandview Speedway, you’re in for a treat. The AMSOIL USAC wingless sprints are coming to Pennsylvania and New Jersey for the annual EASTERN STORM and the series opens at the Grandview Speedway on Tuesday night, June 5 and the event will carry a rain date of Wednesday, June 6. The USAC 6th Annual Amsoil EASTERN STORM will also visit New Egypt Speedway, Big Diamond Speedway and make a first time ever visit to the Port Royal Speedway.

Chris Windom of Canton, IL, Casey Shuman of Tempe, AZ, Hunter Schuerenberg of Sikeston, MO, Justin Grant of Ione, CA, Bryan Clauson of Noblesville, IN, Levi Jones of Olney, IL, Jerry Coons Jr of Tucson, AZ and Robert Ballou of Rocklin, CA are a few of more then twenty drivers that have already pre-entered.

The Grandview Speedway in Bechtelsville, PA will kick off the USAC Eastern Storm on Tuesday night, June 5 and the program will include time trials, and qualifying events all leading up to the 40 lap Jesse Hockett Classic paying $6,000 to the winner of the USAC feature event. Also on the program will be the ARDC wingless midgets, competing in qualifying events and a 20 lap feature. In the event of rain, Wednesday night, June 6 will be the rain date.

The Eastern Storm will move to the New Egypt Speedway on Thursday night, June 7. Hunter Schuerenberg was the winner of this event last year. Joining the USAC wingless sprints will be the Big Block Modifieds racing in a series of qualifying events leading up to the $3,000 to win thirty lap feature. Gates open at 5 PM with race time set for 7:30 PM.

On Friday night, June 8 the Eastern Storm travels to “God’s Country” in Minersville, PA and the swing will close on Saturday night, June 9 at the Port Royal Speedway.
