Among the proudest of his achievements is serving as the promoter of California's Calistoga Speedway.

In August 2025, the famed Louie Vermeil Classic was resurrected after six years and was a rousing success. Tommy was an integral part of that.

Although his left foot was shattered, battered and tattered for the second half of the season, Justin Grant managed to pull through it all to earn the most points across USACโ€™s three national divisions and become the first five-time titlist of the Mike Curb USAC National Drivers Championship worth $15,000.

Before the end of April, he set a new record by winning in all three series quicker than any driver in series history. Despite leading all drivers with 16 USAC national victories in 2025, this was easily the most challenging.

He was also the only driver to finish inside the top-five in points for all three divisions, taking 1st in Silver Crown, 2nd in Midgets and 5th in Sprint Cars.
