LAWRENCEBURG, Ind. — Justin Grant was in victory lane for the second time in three rounds of USAC’s Indiana Sprint Week on Sunday night at Lawrenceburg Speedway.
Grant, who won Friday’s opener at Gas City I-69 Speedway, led the first 23 laps from outside the front row, but gave way to Saturday winner C.J. Leary on lap 24.
Leary led two laps of the three-eighths-mile track before Grant returned to the point and paced the final five circuits for the victory.
It was Grant’s fifth victory of the season.
Jake Swanson came on strong at the end to finish second, while Brady Bacon romped from 22nd to finish third. Kevin Thomas Jr. and Mitchel Moles rounded out the top five.
