9.4.21 Action Sprint Tour Results
By Tommy Goudge
BRIGHTON, Ont. (September 4, 2021) – A change of venue did nothing to slow Jacob Dykstra down on Saturday night. Dykstra took the lead late in the first Action Sprint Tour event at Brighton Speedway in more than two years, and went on to take yet another A-Main win.
Luke Stewart and Nick Sheridan were the front row starters for the 25 lap A-Main, and Stewart led the first 19 laps while Sheridan and Dykstra traded the second position back and forth. Dykstra got past Stewart on lap 20 and went on to claim his sixth AST win in seven attempts this season. Stewart settled for the runner-up spot, followed by Sheridan, Eric Gledhill, and Jesse Costa.
Allan Downey, Terry Baker, Darren Dryden, Jonah Mutton, and Joshua Hill took top ten finishes. Sheridan, Costa, Gledhill, and Dykstra took heat race wins, while Brett Stratford won the B-Main. Lucas Smith flipped hard in the B-Main after contacting an infield tire marker. Smith was uninjured, and planned to fix his car for Sunday night.
The Action Sprint Tour will next be in competition on Sunday, September 5 at Brighton Speedway. Visit www.actionsprinttour.com and www.brightonspeedway.ca for more information.
