Biography
Schurch's family emigrated to the United States when he was a boy. He made five starts in AAA Championship Car from 1929 to 1931. He had failed to qualify for the 1928 Indianapolis 500 but made the race in 1929. He served as a relief driver for Shorty Cantlon in the 1930 race. He also drove in the 1931 Indianapolis 500 but his transmission failed after 5 laps. His best finish in AAA Championship racing came later that year at the New York State Fairgrounds Raceway where he finished sixth.[2] Schurch excelled in Big Car racing (Sprint Car), where he won many races on the Eastern circuit (in the Northeast United States). He was killed in practice for a dirt track race at Legion Ascot Speedway in California.[3] Schurch was elected to the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame in 2010.
