Carrying sponsorship from national USAC midget racer Johnny Rodriguez, 14 year old Justin Grant has quickly taken the adult karting world by storm. Grant added to his resume with a clean sweep of the open 500cc action during the 2005 Outlaw Kart Nationals. Grant posted quick time in both rounds of qualifying with a track record of 8.461. Heat races were split into fully inverted 10 car heats, and Grant showed qualifying was no fluke as he charged through the field from his 10 th starting spot to take the win. Starting fourth in the four car trophy dash, Grant once again proved he was the driver to beat at the Nationals. His rim riding pass for second brought the crowd to their feet, and his last lap turn four pass for the victory left the crowd standing and applauding the young racer from Rancho Murieta California. Grant earned the pole for Sunday's finale with a perfect score of three hundred points. Sunday's A-Main lined up according to total points from the weekend action, and Grant turned his pole position start into a 30 lap feature win. Keith Bloom started third an ran second ahead of Beau Perkins, Brett Miller and David Wilson. Grant was the only driver to post a lap under 9.4 in the A-Main as he posted lap times in the 9.3's with a best of 9.32. The Open Class drew 65+ karts and 410 sprint car star Sean Becker put on a show when he arrived on Sunday after racing his sprint car both Friday and Saturday nights. {More...}
