~ Sikeston, MO driver Hunter Schuerenberg will be heading East when the AMSOIL USAC National Sprint Tour brings their "Eastern Storm" Tour to Pennsylvania and New Jersey.?? Schuerenberg is a professional race car driver, and why not?, He started racing go-karts at the age of six.? His career saw him move into mini-sprints and at age fourteen, he raced his first 360 wing sprinter before moving into the non-wing 410 sprint division at age sixteen.? With over twenty wins in a sprint car, Schuerenberg was a winner at I-30 Speedway in Little Rock, AK and went on to score at least one win at every race track in the Indiana non-wing sprint car ranks.??
?
Schuerenberg has never been to Pennsylvania”s Grandview Speedway, a one-third mile high banked oval that definitely has an attitude.?? "From what I”ve seen on YouTube, Grandview looks to be a good fit for the non wing sprints but to beat guys like Levi Jones, I”ll have to be consistent and minimize any mistakes.? If a driver is up front at the end of the race, the wins will come and the points will take care of themselves", stated Schuerenberg.???? Driving the Hank and Derk Byram owned #35, Hunter Schuerenberg plans to be a serious contender not only to win a couple of those $6,000 to win AMSOIL Wingless feature events, but to also chase down the "Eastern Storm" championship title.??

The AMSOIL USAC National Sprint Car Series will open on Monday night, May 30 at the Lernerville Speedway in Sarver, PA.?? The following night, Tuesday, May 31 the USAC sprints will invade the Grandview Speedway.?? The Eastern Storm will clash with the NAPA Auto Parts Thunder on the Hill Racing Series and in typical style, anytime you arrive at the "hill",? there is always a good chance of lightning and thunder as well.??

In the four previous USAC Eastern Storm events at Grandview, Levi Jones won the opener in 2007, the late Jesse "The Rocket" Hockett won the next two events as Levi Jones returned to Grandview in 2010 to win the first annual Jesse Hockett Classic.?? The word is out about the USAC sprints at Grandview and this is a show where the time trials are worth the cost of admission.? It”s just something you have to see to believe. Nothing beats the sound, sight and thrill of watching a USAC wingless sprint car navigate the non-forgiving one-third mile high banked oval in Bechtelsville, PA???? Also on the program with the AMSOIL USAC Wingless Sprints will be the ARDC Wingless Midgets, making this show a "must see" open wheel double-header that will get underway at 7:30 PM.?
