The competition for third place remains wide open, featuring veteran Justin Desrosiers and a mix of experienced drivers and rising talents including:
- Sylvain Dupuis
- Trey Ladouceur
- Dan Jalbert
- Adam Rozon
- David Andre
- Skylar Ladouceur
Additional competitors vying for top-10 positions include Billy Cook, Bob Ray, Matt Barbour, Marco McCarthy, and Ty David.
