Jacob Allen\u2019s<\/strong><\/a> patient mindset is one of his greatest strengths, but he\u2019ll be the first to admit it\u2019s been challenging this year.<\/p>\n After breaking through for his long-awaited first career World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink<\/a> Sprint Car Series victory last year, Allen wanted that winning feeling again in 2021, but he hasn\u2019t found it yet.<\/p>\n It\u2019s been tough without as many of those winning contending nights, but he\u2019s picked up another area of consistency with his most top-10 results (19) in a season with The Greatest Show on Dirt<\/em>.<\/p>\n \u201cI would say it\u2019s been alright,\u201d Allen noted on his year. \u201cIt\u2019s been different more than anything. Overall, it\u2019s like another year on the Outlaw tour: you learn a little bit more and you evolve on different skills.\u201d<\/p>\n With five races remaining, including the season-ending NGK\/NTK World Finals<\/strong><\/a> at The Dirt Track at Charlotte<\/strong><\/a> on Nov. 4-6, the Shark Racing pilot currently sits 10th in the championship standings. It took seven full years on tour for him to finish top-10 in the points, and now he\u2019s done it in back-to-back seasons.<\/p>\n The Hanover, PA native surpassed 400 career starts with the Series this year and enjoyed several significant runs such as his podium finish at Huset\u2019s in August and his hard-charging 24th to ninth bid at Eldora\u2019s Kings Royal in July.<\/p>\n
