Have to admit I spent an embarrassingly long time typing END, ENDS, and variations until I figured it out. Very clever! Thank you for breaking the horizontal only rule, those first two columns were a bit ambiguous.
The meta answer is something that both the clue in puzzle title AND the clue in the grid (in this case the grid clue is END) help you guess, so Race Stop + end = the meta
