With two points races left in the Estevan Motor Speedway season, there is a lot yet to be decided.
The season championships in all four race classes are still up for grabs, and it's anyone's guess how they will play out.
Steven Pfeifer is leading in both the modified and late model classes, and has a chance to pull off a rare double.
Pfeifer, a veteran driver from Bowbells, N.D., has driven in Estevan more this year than in the past.
In fact, he was only planning to race for points in the late model class here, but he finds himself on top of the mod points list as well.
"It'd be cool to win them both since I haven't raced much up there for a long time," Pfeifer said.
In the modified class, Pfeifer leapfrogged Mason Big Eagle with a fourth place finish on Aug. 9. Big Eagle took eighth in that race.
Pfeifer now leads Big Eagle by three points entering this weekend's doubleheader.
"We just need to make it through the features. The last couple weeks, it's just been survival," Pfeifer said.
"When you're that close, you obviously have to race hard, but you still have to have it in the back of your head that you have to finish the race. You have to pick your battles and decide what time to go and when not to.'
With Big Eagle having two nights to make up the three-point gap, Pfeifer said he'll have to keep an eye on him.
"I'm going to be mindful of where he's at on the race track. We've had a pretty good last half of the season and he has too. We've gotta try to put ourselves in a position where we don't overdo it and go from there."
Meanwhile, Pfeifer is one point ahead of Estevan's Tyson Turnbull in the late model class. He said he'll be happy regardless of which driver wins the championship.
"I really enjoy racing with Ty. Whether it's him or me, and obviously it's going to be either him or me, I wouldn't be heartbroken if I didn't win it," Pfeifer said.
"He puts a lot of work into that deal and he deserves it as much as anyone else."
He added, "It'll be a breath of fresh air when both of them are done, just to take the pressure off."
The stock car class, meanwhile, is the most unpredictable of the four. There are four drivers with a legitimate chance to win and no one will have a clue which one it is until the dust settles on Saturday.
Rocky Alexander, who won three straight stock car championships from 2010 to 2012, holds a one-point lead over Geoff Mann. Jordan Durward is three points behind and Gregg Mann, who ran away with the title last year, is six points out.
Alexander, Durward and Gregg Mann all have wins this year, while Geoff Mann has been the model of consistency, finishing in the top 10 in all seven races, including four top five placings.
In the hobby stock division, the season title will go to either Brad King or Leevi Runge, as no one else is close.
King leads Runge by 10 points.
King was the favourite to win the championship going into the season, and he started with three straight wins. He has continued to race well since then, but has not picked up another win.
Runge, of Lampman, has been as consistent as anyone at the race track this year. He doesn't have a win under his belt, but he's got six top-five finishes and his worst is 10th.
With two nights for drivers to make up gaps, no lead is safe.
