NEW EGYPT WINNER SCHUERENBERG GETS LAST-LAP VICTORY!

 


New Egypt, N.J………Hunter Schuerenberg of Sikeston, Mo. matched Dan Wheldon’s Indianapolis 500 heroics Thursday night when he emerged with a final-lap victory in the 40-lap “Eastern Storm” AMSOIL USAC National Sprint car race at New Egypt Speedway. Schuerenberg, piloting the Hank Byram Fatheadz Eyewear/R & B Truckers Spike/Foxco, had settled in for a second-place finish behind Jon Stanbrough when Stanbrough scraped the wall and spun in turn three after leading the first 39 laps. The win left the “Eastern Storm” with four different feature winners in as many nights, with the series finale slated Saturday at Port Royal, Pa. Speedway. Robert Ballou took the runner-up spot at the checkered flag ahead of Levi Jones, Tracy Hines and Travis Rilat. Jones leads the “Eastern Storm” and AMSOIL National points entering Saturday’s race at Port Royal.
