BROCKVILLE, Ont. (September 9, 2022) – Jacob Dykstra was back in victory lane after an Action Sprint Tour fueled by Pinty’s event on Friday night, this time at Brockville Ontario Speedway.
The first of two weekend events for AST at Brockville began with Lee Ladouceur and Jacob Dykstra on the front row. Dykstra wasted no time taking the lead, but row four starter Matt Billings was on the move. Dykstra led flag-to-flag, but Billings made a late charge to cross the finish line second.
Ladouceur ended up being scored as the runner-up, however, as Billings’ car was too light at the scales. Darren Dryden took the final podium spot from row five, followed by Mathieu Bardier and Ashton VanEvery.
