Craig Slaunwhite (Terence Bay, NS) remains at the top of the championship points standings and only needs to finish 17th to secure the title.
If Slaunwhite can secure the championship he will be the only driver in the Series history to win three consecutive East Coast International Pro Stock Tour Championships.
As race fans know however, anything can happen once man and machine hit the track.
Jarrett Butcher (Porter’s Lake, NS) enters the Tirecraft 200 in second position with 2009 points, 47 less than Slaunwhite. In addition to watching Slaunwhite, Butcher will also be looking in his rearview mirror as four drivers are hot his heels.
Dartmouth’s Nicholas Naugle enters the weekend in third spot just 16 markers behind Butcher. Russell Smith Jr (Lakeside, NS) is currently fourth in the chase for the championship, just 25 points behind Butcher.

Mike Rodgers (Moncton, NB) has been hanging in the top-five most of the season and has a chance to improve his position in the standings.
These four drivers will be ones to watch at the Season Finale this Saturday at Scotia Speedworld.
The $50,000 points fund will be on the minds of many drivers entering Saturday’s finale.
Although the championship may be out of reach, there is still lots of cash on the line for other competitors who will be looking to improve or secure their year-end standing.
The Cross Roads Maritime League of Legends will take Centre stage prior to the Tirecraft 200.
Locals Gage Gilby and Ayden Christensen will be battling it out for the Legends tour championship.
Street Stocks will also make their long-awaited return to Scotia Speedworld on Saturday and will run a 75-lap feature.
Tim’s Corner Motorsports TV will have a video crew at Scotia Speedworld to provide full event coverage.
