It would be night #1 of the Mohawk Nationals presented by St. Lawerence Radiology with the Dirtcar 358 Modified Series, Sportsman Modified, Mod Lites, and Super Stock. Just as hot laps were wrapping a rainstorm would come through it would only last 30 minutes but in that time it would dump a ton of water on the track but the track crew would not give up as they would get to work right after the rain went through and we would eventually get back on the track as the racing would start around 11 pm. The first race out on the track would also be a main inside of the Super Stock division and the track would definitely still be a little moisture still in the track as they would have issues keeping the cars under control doing the best in the wet would be Tyler Bushey bringing home the victory. Next up as far as the mains would be the Mod Lites and you would see a return to the track familiar one in victory lane as Tucker Halliday would get the 20 lap win. Then to track would be the 358 Modified Series for a 60 lap event and getting the lead off the start is Ryan Barlett. He would be able to hold the lead to lap 30 when he made a mistake and Erick Rudolph capitalize and took the lead. Although he would not be able to cruise away and hide as Billy Dunn and Tim Fuller would be hard-charging trying to take it away but Erick Rudolph would hold on for the win. Then the last race of the night/morning would be Sportsman Modified in the 8th annual Pete Mitchell memorial event. Corey Castell would take the lead off the start of the 54 lap race. On lap 14 Dave Rodgers would use a lapper a pick and take the leade over Castell. From there Dave Rodgers would be in control for his first at the Mohawk International Raceway but that would not be without challenge Dan Rombough and Ryan Shanhann with that racing would come to end at about three in the morning and it would be quick rest and onto night #2 at mohawk nationals.

Before the racing got underway all the drivers from all the divisions would get out and do a four-wide salute to the fans and thank them for coming each and every week through the race and see them in 2022. It would be Taylor Rental Championship night at the Airborne Speedway and there would be a couple of points battles that would come down to the bitter end. When the dust would settle after the heat races and it was time for the mains on the night the Hartson Total Opening Renegades would be first up and the championship was between three guys Zack Daniels, Tylor Tyler, and Shawn Duquette and still riding high from his first career win last week Nathaniel Guay would pull it back into victory lane for the second week in a row. Although with his second-place finish on the night Zack Daniels would be crowned the points champion. Then it would be the main event of the evening as the J+S Steel Sportsman Modified would hit the track for a 50 lap event and as far as the championship went Justin Severance lead Travis Bruno by 6 points heading into the night when the dust settled on the night the professor Bucko Branham would find his way into victory lane for the first time this season and Travis Bruno would come home 2nd and make up the distance and be crowned 2021 track champion. Then it would be the Taylor Rental 4 Cylinders and Nate Smart thought he was in good shape for the title as he came in with a 12 point lead over Josh Laporte. Although that is the way they race and it would be a first on the night as Codey Agony would get his first career 4 cylinder win and Josh Laporte would do everything he could do to overcome the gap and finish a hard-charging second while Nate Smart would be stuck back in traffic and finish second although that would be enough to win the title by a mere 2 points.
