Justin Fontaine (born October 18, 1997) is an American professional driver. He competed part-time in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, driving a Toyota Tundra for AM Racing.
In 2016, Fontaine made his Camping World Truck Series debut at Martinsville Speedway, driving the No. 22 Toyota for AM Racing. After starting 28th, he finished 26th, five laps behind race winner Johnny Sauter. Fontaine remained with AM Racing in 2017, driving on a part-time basis.
On February 18, 2017, Fontaine was racing in the Lucas Oil 200, an ARCA Racing Series event at Daytona International Speedway. With five laps to go, he was involved in a multi-car wreck that sent him sliding on his roof. His car hit the outside wall in the tri-oval hard, and he had to be extricated from the car and was taken to nearby Halifax Medical Center. Due to damage to the SAFER barrier caused by Fontaine's hit, as well as the looming threat of rain that ended up postponing the Advance Auto Parts Clash to Sunday, the race was called at lap 75, with Austin Theriault the winner. Fontaine ended up with a L1 compression fracture from the accident. He was cleared to return to racing on May 30, 2017 and hinted at a schedule that included another ARCA race and more NASCAR races.
Fontaine's older cousin Chris has also competed in the Truck Series. Fontaine attended UNC Charlotte.
