By: Richie Murray – USAC Media
Speedway, Indiana (October 19, 2021)………Justin Grant has won in all three USAC National divisions in 2021, and his prowess in Silver Crown, Sprint Car and Midget competition has positioned the Ione, Calif. driver atop the Mike Curb Super License point standings entering the final month of the season in November.
Grant’s combined total of 4639 points in the three divisions has given him a 199-point lead in the Curb points as he aspires for his second Super License title after winning previously in 2017.
Reigning champion Chris Windom (Canton, Ill.) stands second behind Grant with Kevin Thomas Jr. (Cullman, Ala.) 3rd, Tanner Thorson (Minden, Nev.) 4th and Logan Seavey (Sutter, Calif.) 5th encompassing the top-five.
This is the 23rd consecutive year for the Mike Curb Super License, which will pay a $5,000 reward and a USAC Super License worth $750 to the driver who finishes with the most combined USAC National points in the three series throughout the season.
Previous Super License/USAC National Driver Championship titlists include Dave Darland (1999 & 2015), Tracy Hines (2000-2008-2013-2014), J.J. Yeley (2001-2002-2003), Jay Drake (2004), Josh Wise (2005-2006), Jerry Coons Jr. (2007), Cole Whitt (2009), Bryan Clauson (2010-2011-2012), Brady Bacon (2016), Justin Grant (2017), Tyler Courtney (2018-2019) and Chris Windom (2020).
Fourteen USAC National events remain in November – five Sprint Car and nine Midget. The five Sprint Car dates include three-straight nights at California’s Perris Auto Speedway on Nov. 4-5-6 and back-to-back evenings at Arizona Speedway on Nov. 12-13.
The run of nine Midget events begins at Arizona Speedway on Nov. 12-13, then it’s onto California for the final seven, starting at Bakersfield Speedway on Nov. 16, then three-in-a-row at Placerville Speedway on Nov. 18-19-20, twice at Merced Speedway on Nov. 23-25, then the finale at Ventura Raceway on Nov. 27.
