Hunter Schuerenberg of Sikeston, Missouri teamed with Hank Byram's Rock Steady Racing team to become one of the winningest combinations in AMSOIL National Sprint Car racing in 2011 and 2012.

After a consistent start to 2013 that saw them in the middle of a tight point race, the latter half of the year became a struggle that ended with the two parting ways and Schuerenberg piecing together...more
