Justin South (born April 5, 1988) is an American professional stock car racing driver who has previously competed in the ARCA Racing Series.
Racing career South first began his racing career at the age of twelve, driving Bandoleros at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
In 2004, South would make his debut in the ARCA Re/Max Series at Salem Speedway at the age of sixteen, driving the No. 78 Chevrolet for Doug Reid III, where he would start sixteenth and finish second to race winner Jason Jarrett. In 2005, South would compete in select starts in the series, primarily for Don Marcrum and 3-D Motorsports, getting a best finish of fourth at Toledo Speedway. He would also make an additional start for Scott Hillis at Berlin Raceway, where he would finish eleventh. He would remain with Marcrum the following year, departing the team late into the year. He would then run the final two races of the year at Talladega Superspeedway, driving for DGM Racing, and Iowa Speedway, driving for Bob Schacht Motorsports.
In 2007, South would run full-time for Cunningham Motorsports, driving the No. 59 Dodge. Over the course of the year, he would earn one top-five finish and nine top-tens with a best result of third at Toledo in May to finish eighth in the final points standings. He would depart from the team afterwards, citing funding issues a lack of chemistry, and was not able to obtain a ride for the following year.
After his release from Cunningham, South would go on to compete in various series such as the Viper Pro Late Model Series, and the Show Me The Money Pro Late Model Series, finishing second in points in his first year in the latter series. In 2013, South would return to the now ARCA Racing Series, driving the No. 22 for Cunningham at the Illinois State Fairgrounds dirt track, where he would finish seventeenth after starting fifteenth.
