#1h - Hunter Schuerenberg (Sikeston, MO)

Chili Bowl Rookie

The 2006 National Non-Wing Sprint Car Rookie of the Year piled on 28 more top-ten feature finishes in 2007, including four Indiana wins.  Hunter heated up in July with wins at Lawrenceburg, Gas City and Kokomo and then snared a $10,000 MSCS score at Tri-State Speedway in Haubstadt on August 4.

Ranking fourth in King of Indiana Sprint Series (KISS) points and ninth with the Midwest Sprint Car Series (MSCS), the 18-year-old made his initial five Midget starts as the 2007 season wound down, reeling off consecutive fourth-place finishes in his first three starts.
