Shawn Cowie, who like many Canadian racers had problems getting across the border due to pandemic restrictions in 2021, got his first Top Alcohol Dragster win since the 2021 Winternationals, defeating Matt Cummings with a stout 5.21 from his Norm Grimes-tuned Mundie’s Towing dragster. The victory, the 23rd of Cowie’s career and his second in Brainerd (2019), upped his final-round record to an impressive 23-8 mark.
