BROCKVILLE, Ont. (October 17, 2021) – Persistent rain played havoc with the Fall Nationals weekend schedule at Brockville Ontario Speedway, but the Pinty’s Action Sprint Tour Crate Sprint Car series managed to get some racing in and crown a champion.

The original schedule called for two complete Action Sprint Tour events – one on Friday night, and one on Saturday afternoon; Friday’s heat races were completed with Nick Sheridan, Eric Gledhill, and Brett Stratford taking the wins, but rain moved into the area just before the A-Main was set to push off. Officials added the race to Saturday’s schedule, but more inclement weather pushed that A-Main and the rest of Saturday’s program to Sunday. Cars finally got back on track on Sunday morning, and the postponed AST A-Main got underway shortly after noon.

Jacob Dykstra and Johnny Miller made up the front row for the 25 lap A-Main, and Dykstra went on to lead every lap to claim his 11th win in 14 Action Sprint Tour attempts this season. Eric Gledhill, Nick Sheridan, Brett Stratford, row six starter Matt Billings, Johnny Miller, Allan Downey, Ryan Poole, Rob Neely, and Lee Ladouceur took top ten finishes.

Sunday’s heat races were claimed by Nick Sheridan, Darrell Pelletier, and Eric Gledhill, but rain showers again moved into the area and washed out the remainder of the event. While the rained-out A-Main will be run in spring 2022, the 2021 Pinty’s Action Sprint Tour championship standings were declared final with Jacob Dykstra winning the championship.

Dykstra finished 47 points ahead of Allan Downey in the final championship standings, earning $5,000 for the title along with a Pinty’s VIP package for the 2022 Bristol Dirt Race. The top ten drivers in points earned at least $1,000 from the 2021 points fund, including Dykstra, Downey, Nick Sheridan, Eric Gledhill, Brett Stratford, Lucas Smith, Rob Neely, Darren Dryden, Dereck Lemyre, and Dale Curran.

Series officials wish to sincerely thank all drivers, teams, officials, track operators, sponsors, and fans for their support of the 2021 Pinty’s Action Sprint Tour season. A total of 53 drivers participated in at least one AST event in 2021, with four drivers – Jacob Dykstra (11), Nick Sheridan (1), Darren Dryden (1), and Allan Downey (1) – claiming an A-Main victory.
