The WPCA's World Championship finals are going on right now at Century Downs Racetrack and Casino.

High River's Jason Glass qualified in the top 12 and needs to make up some more points in order to make the top four for the $75,000 dash for cash on Sunday.

The fans were thrilled with another night of excellent track conditions which resulted in track record being broken for the second straight night.

This time it was Chance Bensmiller breaking the record with a time of 1:21.48.

Layne MacGillivray will be the one to beat though as he has a commanding lead for the top 12 contenders for Sunday.

He now has 23 points over two days with Chanse Vigen nipping on his heels in second with 17 points, followed by Kris Molle in third with 16 points and Ross Knight sitting in the coveted fourth place position with 15 points.  Glass has 12 points and with a couple of good times Friday and Saturday he could make the finals.
