Speedway, Indiana (October 19, 2021)………Justin Grant has won in all three USAC National divisions in 2021, and his prowess in Silver Crown, Sprintca and Midget competition has positioned the Ione, Californina driver atop the Mike Curb Super Licence 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 Licence title after winning previously in 2017.

Reigning champion Chris Windom (Canton, Ill.) stands second behind Grant with Kevin Thomas Jr. (Cullman, Ala.) third, Tanner Thorson (Minden, Nev.) fourth and Logan Seavey (Sutter, Calif.) fifth encompassing the top-five.

This is the 23rd consecutive year for the Mike Curb Super Licence, which will pay a $5,000 reward and a USAC Super Licence worth $750 to the driver who finishes with the most combined USAC National points in the three series throughout the season.

Previous Super Licence/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 Sprintcar and nine Midget fixtures. The five Sprintcar dates include three-straight nights at California’s Perris Auto Speedway on November 4-5-6 and back-to-back evenings at Arizona Speedway on November 12-13.

The run of nine Midget events begins at Arizona Speedway on November 12-13, then it’s onto California for the final seven, starting at Bakersfield Speedway on November 16, then three-in-a-row at Placerville Speedway on November 18-19-20, twice at Merced Speedway on November 23-25, then the finale at Ventura Raceway on November 27.
