The tightest division heading into the weekend is the J&S Steel Sportsman Modifieds, where three former champions are all in a position to wear the crown. Six-time champion Nick Heywood holds a slim two-point lead over defending champion Donovan Lussier. Three-time champion Travis Bruno is just eight points behind. Heywood and Lussier both have three wins on the season. Bruno has not captured a checkered flag but has been the most consistent driver during his campaign.

In the 9th State Cannabis Renegades, Tylor Terry holds a comfortable 37-point cushion over defending champion Shawn Duquette. Terry has visited victory lane more times than any driver in any division this season, with seven wins. Duquette has four wins on the season.

Kobe Hernandez has all but sewn up the title in the Hoosier Tire Limited Sportsman. The Chazy, NY, driver holds a 61-point advantage over Parker Dermody. No other driver is within 150 points of Hernandez.

Defending champion Ryan Senecal enters the final weekend with an excellent shot to repeat. Senecal leads Jp Corrow by 26 points, Jake Fountain by 31 points, and Speedy Bresette by 42 points. With the large number of entries usually associated with this division, things could change quickly. Senecal has parked his machine in victory lane four times this season. Corrow had five wins, and Fountain three. Bresette had not been credited with a win but has been knocking on the door week in and week out.

Zack Daniels has been on fire in the pro stocks in their most recent appearances, winning three times in a row. Denis Gauvreau has also captured a win this season.
