PORT COLBORNE, Ont. (September 10, 2021) – Jacob Dykstra ran his win streak on the Pinty’s Action Sprint Tour to five after a decisive victory on Friday night at Humberstone Speedway.
Darren Dryden and Lucas Smith started the 25 lap A-Main on the front row and Dryden took the early lead while chaos reigned through much of the rest of the field. Nick Sheridan started next to Dykstra in row four, and both charged forward with Sheridan taking the lead from Dryden just before a yellow flag negated the pass. Sheridan’s misfortune worked to Dykstra’s advantage, and Dykstra took the lead from Dryden on lap nine.

Dykstra kept pushing after taking the lead and had several close calls in traffic, but ultimately locked down the win while Lucas Smith took the runner-up spot. Sheridan settled for third, followed by Allan Downey and Dryden. Row six starter Brett Stratford and row ten starter Luke Stewart finished sixth and seventh, followed by Eric Gledhill and Dale Curran. Steven Beckett rounded out the top ten after starting last in the B-Main and gaining a total of 16 positions. Austin Roes, Lucas Smith, and Darren Dryden claimed heat race wins, while Luke Stewart won the B-Main.
The Action Sprint Tour will next be in competition on Saturday, September 11 at Southern Ontario Motor Speedway. Visit www.actionsprinttour.com for more information.
