LEVAN MACHINE & TRUCK EQUIPMENT PRESENT THE USAC YOKOHAMA EASTERN STORM, JUNE 16 TO JUNE 21

READING, PA   JUNE 2, 2026  . . . . . ..     Brady Bacon of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma will be in the field for the 2026 Yokohama USAC Eastern Storm presented by Levan Machine & Truck Equipment.   The six nights of action-packed non-wing sprint car racing opens Tuesday night, June 16 and continues through Sunday night, June 21.    This is where wheelies and rooster tails, some wheel banging and slide-jobs thrill the fans as they 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.

Brady Bacon leads all drivers with the most Eastern Storm wins, scoring eight victories and four of those wins came at the Grandview Speedway, the track that will open the 2026 Eastern Storm on Tuesday night, June 16.    But don’t count out Justin Grant, a seven-time Eastern Storm winner and defending Eastern Storm Champion.  

Following Bacon and Grant on the Eastern Storm win list is Chris Windom, Levi Jones, Bryan Clauson with 6, Robert Ballou and Kevin Thomas Jr are five time Eastern Storm winners.   Logan Seavey has four wins, Cole Whitte has three and drivers with two wins include Emerson  Axsom, Tyler Courtney, Kyle Cummins and Thomas Mesaraull.   Drivers with a single Eastern Storm win include, Chad Boat, Chad Boespflug, Daron Clayton, Shane Cottle, Briggs Danner, Dave Darland, Bobby East, Damion Gardner, Jesse Hockett, Jason McDougal, Hunter Schuerenberg, Jon Stanbrough, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Chase Stockon and Jake Swanson.

The Levan Machine & Truck Equipment Eastern Storm opens at Grandview Tuesday night, June 16 as Alpine Building Supply presents the Jesse Hockett Classic $6,000 to win USAC event joined by the 358 Modifieds.    The Eastern Storm will move to the Bridgeport Speedway on Wednesday night June 17 followed by the Big Diamond Raceway Thursday night June 18, Williams Grove Friday night June 19, Port Royal Speedway Saturday night June 20 and the Series will close at the Action Track USA on Sunday night, June 21. 

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 current National Tour point leader 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.
