ESTEVAN - The Estevan Motor Speedway was in the midst of delivering another entertaining program for its fans when the rain started to fall and put a halt to the proceedings.

The track held a regular program on Saturday night. Some precipitation fell in the late afternoon in the Energy City, but didn't create any significant delays. The qualifying heats went off without a hitch, treating spectators to some close finishes.

After the intermission, the sport mods ventured on the track and completed their feature race.  

But as the slingshots were entering the racing surface for their feature, the rain began. The race never began, and a short time later, the remaining races – slingshots, stock cars, modifieds and hobby stocks – were called off. A decision has not been made on whether to reschedule those features.

Leevi Runge was the winner of the sport mod feature, finishing ahead of Justin Fichter, Dustyn Mayer and Robby Rosselli.

Fichter led throughout the first half of the race. He actually built large leads early on, but each time his advantage was negated by a caution flag.

Runge, meanwhile, survived an early incident and worked his way up the field into second spot. He then closed the gap on Fichter and took the lead with nine laps remaining. Fichter remained close but never mounted a serious challenge.

Rosselli added to his lead in the points standings with his fourth-place finish, and now has 268. Brian Kentner is second with 240 and Keenan Glasser is third with 231.

As for the other divisions, Travis Hagen leads the modified division with 269 points, 10 clear of Steven Pfeifer. Kody Scholpp is third with 245.

Chris Hortness has a one-point lead, 264-263, over Adam Goff in the stock car division. Kyle Scholpp is third with 258 points.

Kyler Satran leads the hobby stock division with 226, two better than Kayden Hjorteland. Brennor Grinstead is third with 216.

In the slingshots, Sladen Pfeifer is first with 262 points, three more than Jacek Ashworth. Brogan Wagner and Eli Turnbull are tied for third with 250.

The next program at the speedway will be Aug. 19. The track champions will be decided during the final regular program of the season on Aug. 25.
