TO KICKOFF SIX NIGHTS OF THE YOKOHAMA USAC EASTERN STORM TUESDAY NIGHT, JUNE 16 AT GRANDVIEW SPEEDWAY,
SERIES CONTINUES AT BRIDGEPORT, BIG DIAMOND, WILLIAMS GROVE, PORT ROYAL & ACTION TRACK USA
READING, PA JUNE 13, 2026 . . . . . . . Six consecutive nights of action-packed non-wing sprint car racing will kickoff on Tuesday night, June 16 at the Grandview Speedway when Levan Machine & Truck Equipment present the 2026 Yokohama USAC Eastern Storm. Following Grandview, the non-wing warriors will head to the Bridgeport Speedway on Wednesday night, June 17, Big Diamond on Thursday night, June 18, Williams Grove Friday night, June 19, Port Royal on Saturday night June 20 with the finale taking place at Action Track USA on Sunday night, June 21.
This is where wheelies and rooster tails along with some wheel banging and slide-jobs thrill the fans as the drivers of the USAC National Tour chase the Levan Machine & Truck Equipment Eastern Storm Championship worth $12,000. Runner-up in the point chase is worth $6,000 with $3,000 for third, $2,000 for fourth and $1,000 for fifth. This payoff is up and above the already race night winners’ share of $6,000 as the top prize for each feature event.
The winningest driver of the Eastern Storm is Broken Arrow, OK driver Brady Bacon, an eight-time winner. Keep in mind, four of those victories came at the Thunder on the Hill Series at Grandview Speedway, the track where the 2026 series will open.
That sounds pretty impressive, but don’t count out Justin Grant, a seven-time Eastern Storm winner and defending Eastern Storm Champion.
The USAC non-wing National Tour is a real treat and if you have not seen one of these events, be sure to take in a few of the dates on this years’ Yokohama Eastern Storm presented by Levan Machine & Truck Equipment. The high-powered 410 non-wing USAC Sprint car drivers are quick to adapt when racing the short track bull rings to taking on the big half-mile dirt ovals, all part of the Eastern Storm.
Drivers expected include Kyle Cummins, defending Eastern Storm Champion Justin Grant, Mitchel Moles, Brady Bacon, Logan Seavey, Chase Stockon, Kevin Thomas Jr., local favorite Briggs Danner, Jake Swanson, C.J. Leary and “The Mad Man” Robert Ballou just to name a few.
