Jacob Dykstra outruns the field and Mother Nature for Brockville Crate Sprint

Car feature win

By: Tim Baltz

After a rainout one week ago at the Brockville Ontario Speedway track crews

were determined to put on a great show as 7 divisions were on the card. The fans

and evening sponsors Tackaberry Construction and Jim’s Performance Plus were

treated to a great evening of racing. However, Mother Nature had other plans

The 1000 Islands RV Crate Sprint Cars took to the speedway under threatening

skies and after a quick survey of the track drivers gave the thumbs up to go green.

Ryan Poole jumped into the early race lead over Jeffrey Weare Jacob Dykstra Matt

Billings and Lee Ladouceur. Poole looked very strong throughout the first half of

the race but Lightning Sprint car star Jeffrey Weare was putting the pressure on

Poole for the lead. At halfway Poole started to pull away but Jacob Dykstra was on

the move taking 2nd from Weare, then ran down Poole for the lead. On lap 13

Dykstra used the top side in turns 3 and 4 to grab the lead. From there Dykstra

would make his season debut memorable as he claimed the win over Ryan Poole

Jeffrey Weare, Matt Billings and Dale Curran Jr.

The J and J Automotive 358 Modifieds rolled trackside for their 30-lap feature but

the skies started to open up and the field was sent back to the pits. After a brief

delay staff and management had no choice but to call it a night. The remaining sic

features will be made up during the remainder of the season.

Next week it will be round number two of the Ogilvie’s Auto and Fleet Triple

Crown Series for the J and J Automotive 358 Modified and Sportsman divisions.

Novice Sportsman, Street Stock and Mini Stock will also be on the card. Racing

gets underway at 7pm. Ticket information and other news can be found on our
