Justin Grant is living with Mark Hery here in Ohio and driving for him. He drove for Mark in Florida earlier this year.. not sure what his schedule or plans are for the year but know he is driving for Mark Hery out of Ohio
I talked to Justin and Mark in Florida. Mark use to drive and decided not to drive this year. Justin is living with them and is going to maintain the car. Mark has a meat market and is just to busy to work on the car They plan on racing at waynesfield. They are based out of Piqua Ohio (Hewitt country) and waynesfield is as close as any track that runs non wing. Mark indicated that they might hit some wing shows.
I hope the best for both
Last night I was in Sunset Meats talking to Mark Hery (placing an order), and we of course were talking racing. I told him that he and Justin were being talked about on IOW. Mark told me a couple of stories about their Florida trip, and then Mark says, well, right there is my driver, and he introduced us.
Justin seems like a nice guy. Hopefully he and Mark have some good luck, and 2011 brings them some wins!
Oh yeah, Ive talked to him numerous times, great kid and has enormous talent which is why he needs to be here in Indiana gettin ready to go win multiple features this year but I guess the almighty dollar plays a big role which is unfortunate Posted using Mobile Device

What in the hell are you talking about?
Justin is driving for somebody else = racing on someone else's dollar. Justin is living at the car owners house, he's working out of a 'speed shop/fab shop' Spiker Racing Products, and his 'job' is maintaining the cars... Seems like a damn good deal to me!
They have a hauler, and I'm sure they know how to get to the tracks in Indiana. They'll run some at Waynesfield, and I'll bet they'll run at other tracks in Ohio too...Fremont, Millstream, Attica, KC, and Mohler
So I don't understand whay you seem to have a knot in your crawl........,
Easy now... We are planning on running a good amount of indiana races this year, should be at gas city and kokomo on a regular basis. As far as my ride this year goes, its as good of equipment as I could ever want and a great atmosphere. I'm excited for this season, see you at the track Posted via Mobile Device
I'm glad to here that you have a ride for the 2011 season Justin. I wish you all the luck in the world and I hope for a bright future for you as well. You are a great guy to work with and be around. Now that your living in Ohio, maybe you and Don can hook back up for some Midget races. You always have my support! Good Luck!!! :-)
