They say all good things eventually come to an end, and that was indeed the case on Friday night at the River Spirit Expo Center, as Clauson-Marshall Racing’s Justin Grant snapped Keith Kunz’s stranglehold on victory lane.
Justin Grant converted a wire-to-wire victory on Vacuworx Qualifying Night into the pole position for Saturday’s 31st annual Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals finale, defeating top seed Christopher Bell in the Pizza Express Pole Shuffle on Friday night.
Just as his Clauson-Marshall Racing teammate Tyler Courtney did Tuesday night at the Tulsa Expo Center, California’s Justin Grant led from start to finish and collected his first-career Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals preliminary night win on Friday during Vacuworx Qualifying Night.
Justin Grant’s first practice session at the controls of a potent Randy Burrow Racing national midget on Thursday night didn’t go exactly as he would have hoped, but he still carried his trademark smile around the Memorial Coliseum floor the entire time.
