The top 12 drivers in the standings are locked in to compete in the playoff round during the first four days at the World Finals.

Hoadley, Alberta’s Obrey Motowylo has a lead of less than 50 points over High River’s Jason Glass in the battle for the world title.

The field for the playoff round also includes Chanse Vigen, Jamie Laboucane, Evan Salmond, Logan Gorst, Rae Croteau Jr., Dustin Gorst, Cruise Bensmiller, Mitch Sutherland, Kurt Bensmiller, and Luke Tournier.

Layne Flad, Preston Faithful, Darcy Flad and Chad Fike all narrowly missed out on finishing in the top 12.
