A pair of High River drivers led the local contingent with Jordie Fike finishing 6th while Jason Glass was 15th.

Okotoks' Mark Sutherland landed in 30th and Milo's Jess Willard was 35th.

After Monday, the top 8 in the aggregate compete in the semi-finals with the top four times advancing to Wednesday's $50,000 Dash For Cash.
