Bobby East

ARCA & Busch Series

Bobby East just maybe the most talented driver in the developmental system.  His vast background in USAC has provided a great strategic plan to move to the top of the racing world.

As a Ford developmental driver, East has piloted a truck, ARCA, Midget, Sprint and Silver Crown cars, all within the last 12 months. His ability to get the most out of the car is the key with East.

Provided the right equipment, Bobby can take it to the point and keep it there.  His professionalism and extensive background in racing should open many doors further ahead in his career. 

Born on December 17, 1984, East became the youngest driver in USAC history to win a feature when he won a USAC National Midget event at the Illiana Motor Speedway in Schererville, Indiana at the age of 16 years, six months, and 25 days in 2001. He was the most victorious driver during the 2004 USAC season with 15 victories among the series' three divisions. He found victory lane seven times in national midgets, five times in national sprint cars, and once each in the Silver Crown, Western States Sprint Car, and Speedrome Regional Midget Series during the season.

East made his NASCAR Busch Series debut at Memphis Motorsports Park in October 2005, finishing in a solid 17th place. He is currently a member of Ford Motor Company's driver development program and competed in the Craftsman Truck Series in 2006 for Wood Brothers/JTG Racing. He finished 23rd in points despite missing two races.

Born in Torrance, California, and a native of Brownsburg, Indiana, East currently resides in Mooresville, North Carolina.

“I’m very excited to be working with Brewco Motorsports in 2007,” East said. “I know they have successful ARCA and Busch Series programs in the works for this season, so I’m looking forward to being a part of that. We’ll use a limited schedule this year as a foundation to build on for next year, when I hope to bring Brewco their first Busch Series championship.”

East has won the USAC Midget Driver of the Year as well as the Championship on his way to more than 20 feature wins.  Marked as the youngest winner in USAC, East continues to carry the name proudly.
