Eastern Storm !

By Bob Miller
READING, PA MAY 2, 2025 . . . . . . This only happens once a year so save the dates and plan to take in the 18th Annual AMSOIL USAC Eastern Storm presented by Levan Machine & Truck Equipment opening on Tuesday night, June 17 at the Grandview Speedway and ending the action-packed Series on Sunday night, June 22 at Action Track USA.

The two states of Pennsylvania and New Jersey will host the USAC National Tour of Non-Wing Sprints, offering some of the most exciting sprint car racing you will ever see. Be sure to experience all 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. This series is especially interesting as the mix of tracks offer much variety and diversity 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.

The six race Eastern Storm will offer a $10,000 point fund courtesy of Levan Machine & Truck Equipment, a Berks County business. Brian Levan, President and CEO for Levan Machine &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.

Some drivers expected to take part in the AMSOIL Eastern Storm is current point leader Kyle Cummins joined by Justin Grant, Daison Pursley, Logan Seavey, Jake Swanson, CJ Leary, Briggs Danner, Mitchel Moles, Robert Ballou and Chase Stockon just to name a few.

Mitchel Moles of Raisin City, CA is the defending Eastern Storm Champion and headlines a list of star studded National Non-Wing Sprint car drivers who were past Eastern Storm Champions. Emerson Axsom of Franklin, Indiana was the 2023 Eastern Storm Champ along with Logan Seavey of Sutter, CA in 2022. The “Mad Man” Robert Ballou of Rocklin, CA was the 2021 Champ. Due to the pandemic, the Eastern Storm did not take place in 2020 but in 2019 It was C.J. Leary of Greenfield, IN who won the Eastern Storm Title. The past champions list back to 2007 includes, 2017-2018 Chris Windon, Canton, IL, Bryan Clauson in 2016, Ballou won his first Eastern Storm Title in 2015 with Brady Bacon of Broken Arrow, OK sweeping the championship in 2014.
