FREMONT, Ohio — Justin Grant is having a great month of June.
The Ione, Calif., driver drove to his third consecutive USAC AMSOILSprint Car National Champion Series win Saturday, June 28 on Sandusky Bay Remodeling Night at Fremont Speedway presented by Gill Construction.
Grant inherited the lead when Robert Ballou, who had a nearly three second lead, flipped on lap 13. Grant held off many challenges from defending USAC sprint car champion Logan Seavey to score his sixth wingless feature win of 2025 and his 60th career USAC sprint car victory. It’s his 10th overall USAC win this year as he leads the National Silver Crown and Midget series points and sits second in the sprint car division. Should Grant be able to pull off winning all three USAC titles he would garner $500,000.
It was Grant’s first win at Fremont as USAC returned to “The Track That Action Built” for the first time in 22 years. Current USAC sprint car point leader Kyle Cummins finished third with Mitchel Moles and early race leader Chase Stockon rounding out the top five.
“To be honest every time I came in I told my guys I feel terrible. I don’t feel good. I didn’t feel like I was putting great laps together. I was just trying to keep myself hard to pass. I kind of was in a little bit of conserve mode there at the end. I just really didn’t feel good all night. Jeff Walker and Kevin, Jerry, Nick and NOS Energy Drink and MPV Logistics, Indy Custom Stone, all the employees at TOPP Industries that makes it possible for me to drive this thing…I’m just so appreciative,” said Grant.
Paul Weaver, a five-time Fremont Speedway track champion, took advantage when early race leader J.J. Henes spun on lap five in the Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 feature. Weaver, who came into the night uncharacteristically winless in 2025, drove to his 82nd career win at Fremont, placing him second on the track’s all-time win list. Zeth Sabo, Bryan Sebetto, Jamie Miller and Dustin Stroup rounded out the top five.
