READING, PA MARCH 7, 2025 . . . . . .. Pennsylvania and New Jersey get ready, a storm is heading east Tuesday, June 17 to Sunday, June 22 when the Levan Machine & Truck Equipment presents the AMSOIL USAC National Non-Wing Sprints Eastern Storm. The eighteenth edition of this series will offer six consecutive nights of Non-Wing Sprint Car Racing visiting six different tracks in two states.
It’s six nights of racing with a unique mix of multiple divisions that not only offers the USAC Non-Wing Sprints, but adds variety to include the 358 Modifieds, URC 360 Winged Sprints, 410 Sprints, 600 non-wing Sprints and not to mention, the USAC Champ Cars. The Levan Machine & Truck Equipment Eastern Storm is a week of racing you don’t want to miss visiting Grandview, Bridgeport, Big Diamond, Williams Grove, Port Royal and Action Track USA.
There is variety and diversity as these tracks range from the Short Track Bull Rings, to the High Speed big tracks to the always wild and crazy High Banks. No two tracks are the same which make this Series the most demanding and challenging of the USAC National Tour.
Fifty-two Eastern Storm events were presented between 2007 and 2024 and the big winner was Brady Bacon, an eight time Eastern Storm victor. Bryan Clauson, Levi Jones and Chris Windom each won six Eastern Storm events and Rober Ballou owns five series wins. Drivers with four wins include Justin Grant, Logan Seavey and Kevin Thomas Jr., Cole Whitt has three wins and Emerson Axsom, Tyler Courtney and Thomas Meseraull each have two Eastern Storm victories.
In 2007, it was Grandview Speedway’s Bruce Rogers and Special events Promoter Bob Miller who celebrated the return and the start of the USAC Non-Wing Sprints Eastern Storm. A capacity crowd attended to see Levi Jones win the first Eastern Storm event that opened the 2007 Thunder on the Hill Racing Series. Since that initial show, Grandview and Thunder on the Hill host the opening event of the Eastern Storm.
The six race Eastern Storm will offer a $10,000 point fund courtesy of Levan Machine and Truck Equipment, a Berks County business, Brian Levan, President and CEO for Levan Machine and Truck Equipment is no stranger on the local racing scene and along with running a very successful business, Brian is known as someone who can get things done.
“I love racing and especially non-wing sprints and the history the USAC organization has established and we are proud being part of the 18th Annual USAC Eastern Storm”. Levan continued, “We are approaching this sponsorship a little differently then some of our programs, with a goal to get the Levan Machine and Truck Equipment name high-level exposure and at the same time, grow and develop and hopefully add even more excitement to this already historic Series”.
The 2025 Eastern Storm champion will earn $5,000 of the total $10,000 Levan Machine and Truck Equipment sponsored point fund. Watch for some race night activities to be announced to include USAC driver Meet & Greets at various tracks.
