Justin Grant Wins at Eldora Speedway – Flips in Wild Post-Race Celebration
Rossburg, OH – April 15, 2025 – Justin Grant took the checkered flag in spectacular fashion at Eldora Speedway on Saturday night, capturing the USAC National Sprint Car Series feature win—but the drama didn’t end at the finish line. In an unexpected twist, Grant ended the night upside down after flipping his car during a post-race celebration that left fans stunned and the pit area buzzing.
Grant, driving the RMS Racing No. 4, was dominant throughout the 30-lap A-main event at the iconic half-mile dirt oval. After a fierce battle with Robert Ballou and Brady Bacon in the early laps, Grant pulled away following a restart on lap 18 and never looked back. He expertly navigated lap traffic and rode the cushion with precision, securing another hard-earned win on one of sprint car racing’s biggest stages.
“This place is so special, man,” Grant said in Victory Lane. “To win at Eldora—it never gets old. This team gave me a rocket ship tonight. I could put it anywhere on the track.”
However, the celebration took a chaotic turn moments later. While performing a series of victory donuts in front of the packed grandstands, Grant hit a rut near the entrance of turn one. The car dug in and launched into a slow, end-over-end flip, landing upside down on the front stretch. Gasps turned to cheers as Grant quickly climbed out of the car, waving to the crowd to signal he was unhurt.
“I just got a little carried away,” Grant admitted afterward with a sheepish grin. “I hit that rut wrong, and next thing I knew, I was staring at the ground. Not how I wanted to end the night, but hey—at least we gave the fans a show!”
The RMS Racing crew sprinted onto the track to check on their driver and assess the damage. While the car sustained notable bodywork damage, the team confirmed the chassis was largely intact, and Grant is expected to be ready for the next USAC event.
Fans took to social media almost immediately, with videos of the flip going viral within minutes. Reactions ranged from amusement to admiration for Grant’s fearless personality and unshakable spirit.
“Only Justin Grant could win a race at Eldora and then flip it celebrating,” one fan tweeted. “Legend stuff.”
The win further solidifies Grant’s strong start to the 2025 USAC season. With several top-five finishes already under his belt, the Eldora victory propels him higher in the points standings as the tour heads into a busy stretch of spring races.
While the flip wasn’t planned, it added another unforgettable chapter to Grant’s already colorful racing career. Known for his aggressive style and charismatic personality, Justin Grant continues to be one of the most entertaining figures in sprint car racing today.
“Next time I win,” Grant laughed, “maybe I’ll stick to just waving the checkered flag.”
