KOKOMO, IN (August 24, 2025) — Justin Grant did not let a broken foot slow him down in route to winning the Elliott’s Custom Trailers & Carts Sprint Car Smackdown XIV finale Saturday night at Kokomo Speedway.
Briggs Danner had build up a lead of over five seconds after passing C.J. Leary for the top spot on lap five until Danner made contact trying to lap Hayden Reinbold, with Reinbold slowing with a flat tire and front end damage. This setup an epic race for the lead with Danner and Grant exchanging slide jobs.
That race for the lead ended on the final lap when Danner got into the turn two wall and turned over. Danner walked back to the pit area disappointed, but drew a standing ovation from the capacity crowd for his performance and a $24,000 prize with his second place finish and money for laps led and $5,000 for winning the hard luck award.
Grant held on during the green/white/checkered finish to collect the $30,000 top prize. Kyle Cummins, Logan Seavey, Leary, and Kevin Thomas Jr. rounded out the top five.
