PORT COLBORNE, Ont. (July 31, 2021) – Jacob Dykstra swept the Action Sprint Tour fueled by Pinty’s portion of All-Canadian Championship weekend at Humberstone Speedway.
Curtis Gartly and Eric Gledhill made up the front row for Friday’s 25 lap A-Main, but the race was quickly halted for a crash in the first turn which took out Steven Beckett and Derek Miller. Following the red flag and another minor yellow flag, the race went green the rest of the way. Curtis Gartly led the first 15 laps, but row four starter Jacob Dykstra moved steadily through the field and made the winning move in traffic. The win was worth $1,500 thanks to Sundance Restaurant Services.
