I just wanted to reach out and say Thank you to everyone that sent prayers and well wishes for Justin Grant after a vicious crash at Lawrenceburg Speedway. Thank God all 3 drivers involved are ok. Justin sustained a broken left foot, which if anyone knows a true Racer this is not going to keep him out of the Race Car. Again Thank you! Justin and his family really appreciate it!!🖤🏁

Justin made it through surgery like a champ and is tucked in to start a bit of recovery! (With a highly alert Chloe dog on duty)
We aren’t sure exactly how long his recovery will be, as soon as we get an idea of how manageable pain is we will have a better idea.
Thanks so much for everyone’s kind words and support, we really appreciate it.

From his wife's Facebook post along with the picture of him using a boot it looks like we may not see him the rest of Sprint Week. Time will tell how well he heals after the surgery. I hope it's fast and wish him well!

I’m no Dr, and I didn’t stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, but I have first hand experience with damage to lower extremities due to fractures thanks to my other favorite sport, hockey. From my experience if surgery was required he will need a little time off. Which begs the question does anyone know if they will sub someone for him to maintain points?

Sounds like they’ve come up with a few hand brake options for JG to run tonight at Kokomo.

OMG They did rig up a pull hand brake in the car like the outboard would be.. Also have a motorcycle type handbrake for the wheel and are waiting on Justin at the track to see which he'll want to try.

Video on Usacnation Twitter and Facebook of Jeff Walker showing em in the car.

Props to the team & him for wanting to give it a go. Kinda surprised USAC would approve it. Of course they did allow Hewitt to run silver crown at Springfield with a patch over his eye back in the day.

Maybe Bacon would make himself available for the night

His foot can't be banged around. I'd make a foam leg stabilizer bottom and sides up to his knee and tape bubble wrap to it.

Still don't see a way especially on dirt from not getting shaken up a lot.
