The Schure Racing stable had 2 races on the schedule this past weekend. The first of which came at El Paso Speedway Park in El Paso, Texas. Brandon started 3rd in the heat race and after a near pile up in turn one on the start Schure emerged in 2nd place and that is where he'd finish. This put him on the front row of the dash and Curt Barnett beat the #21 car to turn one and beat him to the checkered. As the 21 sprint cars lined up for the feature Brandon took the green flag in the 7th spot and was battling for Second place with Sager and Wofford when a lapped car almost spun out in front of him causing Brandon to go off the track. While both cars kept going this kept the green flag out and Brandon lost 5 positions. After it was all said and done Brandon Worked his was back up to the 6th spot.

Saturday saw the Renegade Sprints tow up to Las Cruces, New Mexico for the second race of the weekend. Here the #21 sprint car started in the 5th spot of a loaded heat race. When the green flag flew they went 3 and 4 wide in turn one going for the spot. When this wild heat race was over Brandon Made the inversion spot passing Mike Archuleta for the fourth spot on the last lap. In the feature Brandon was poised to line up in the 6th spot. As the race started he moved up to the fourth spot and was race hard for the third and second spot with Wofford and Sager once again. This is when disaster struck once again. "The motor just fell on it's face coming out of turn 2. It ran great all night and then it was like you flipped a switch. We've had ignition problems on and off all year and its getting frustrating, this has cost us 4 or 5 top 5s and we were in contention to win 3 of them. Hopefully we can find and fix this problem because we cant afford to keep falling out of races." Brandon Commented on his disappointment.

Brandon Schure and crew put the wing back on and headed for Las Cruces, New Mexico for another Renegade Sprint Car Series event Saturday. With 25 cars pulling into the gate Brandon was slated to start 4th in the first heat race. As they came out of turn four and dropped the hammer Schure was on a mission slipping into the second spot. He set his sights on the leader and came up just short of the heat race win.

In the feature Brandon was shown to start in the 7th spot. As the green flag dropped and the field went to the top of the track in turns 1 and 2, Brandon rolled the #21 sprint car right around the bottom of the race track getting into the fourth position. In two laps Schure moved into the 2nd spot and looked to run down last weeks winner, Wes Wofford, before a yellow flag came out. When they got back to racing he wasted no time going for the top spot and passed the #19 car on the bottom of the race track tp take the lead. Schure would lead the next 12 laps before getting challenged in lapped traffic. As they battled through traffic Brandon Schure, Lorne Wofford and John Carney Jr. looked to be the class of the field. With 8 to go Schure and Wofford split a lap car with the #518 car taking the top spot. After a hard fought race with the #3s of Carney, Brandon finally crossed the line in 2nd place. "Man we had a great car tonight. For a little while I thought we might win the thing but Wofford out did me in traffic. He is such a great racer and I enjoy racing with him. Man I sure can't wait to get a win we are getting closer and making some big strides towards doing so" , Brandon commented after the race.

(July 3 & 4, 2009)

It was Fourth of July weekend and the Schure Racing Team headed off to the track for two days of racing. The first of which came with the Renegade Sprint Car Series at EL Paso Speedway Park. Brandon started the heat race from the 3rd spot and when the checkered flag fell he had lost one position, but still remained in the important inversion position. As the 21 sprint cars rolled 4 wide down the front stretch Brandon put the #21 sprint car in the 5th place to start the race. As the green flag dropped all of the cars went into turn one smoothly including Brandon, who came off of turn number 2 in 3rd place. One lap later Schure passed the #52 car for the second spot and looked to run down Wes Wofford. As the top 5 went through traffic nose to tail Brandon once again came up on the #52 machine and got cut off allowing Sander and Loren Wofford by him. When the checkered flag finally flew Brandon ended up in the 6th spot. "I'm kinda disappointed where we finished. We had a top 3 car and got screwed up in traffic and that hurt us."

Saturday, the crew took the wings off and headed to White Sands Speedway for the NMMRA non wing race. This series is an open motor rule with most of the cars having a 360 or a 410 cubic inch motor. With the weather looking not so great they decided to keep the 305 in and this was like bringing a knife to a gun fight or so we thought. The heat race saw Brandon rolling the cushion in front of Scott Box, creating a straight away advantage and a heat race win. Being in the top 8 in passing points, Brandon drew for his position in the feature, which proved to be bad as he pulled out the #8 pill. As the green flag fell Brandon went right through the middle in the first corner and made it stick picking off a couple spots. Throughout the whole race Brandon passed several good cars including, Bo Baker, Rick Johnson and Jon Taylor. As the laps were winding down Schure, Box and Baker put on a great show racing each other. As the checkered fell Brandon showed an impressive 4th place finish against motors that had 200 more horsepower. "We were very good all night. The car drove perfect and we had a lot of forward bite coming off of the corner. I love running this non wing stuff, it fits my driving style and I hope to do a little more in the future."
