BROCKVILLE, Ont. (July 25, 2026) – The Action Sprint Tour tuned by Matco Tools was back at Brockville Ontario Speedway for the fourth round of the tour’s rebirth season. Josh Verne Jr bested a competitive field to take the win.
The 25 lap feature saw Campbell Baker draw the pole and take the lead at the drop of the green flag, with Eric Laurendeau and Al Sleight making up the early top three. Behind them defending track champion Josh Verne Jr. was on the move from 8th, as he climbed to second by lap eight, but still had a long way to go to make up ground on the leader. A pair of yellow flags slowed the field as Matthew Moore spun off turn 4. One lap later Tucker Donath tried to avoid a spinning Marc Surprenant in turn two, but both cars collided with three other cars involved. Donath and Surprenant were done for the night, but the drivers were OK and others were able to continue.
When the green flew it was Baker leading, however Josh Verne Jr. tried several times to get by on the top side and did so on lap 13. Baker continued to run second with Sleight still in control of third, while Rick Wilson moved to 4th, but that’s when things took a different turn. On lap 19 Wilson lost control of his car off turn four, sending him around the frontstretch wall, through a gate, and nearly hitting the frontstretch grandstands. The race was red flagged; thankfully nobody was near the area at the time and everyone was OK. Wilson was pushed back to the track and able to rejoin the field. After that scare, Josh Verne Jr. was able to drive away unchallenged for his first AST win since Can-Am in 2023. Campbell Baker crossed in second with Al Sleight, Andrew Hennessy, and tour points leader Liam Martin rounding out the top five
