The North American Chuckwagon Championship has come to a close with Dustin Gorst winning the Championship ahead of his older brother Logan Gorst, along with Jamie Laboucane and Wade Salmond.
Across the province we are just ramping up for Championship Sunday at the Calgary Stampede. Layne MacGillivray finished with the top Aggregate time after nine days of racing, Kurt Bensmiller came in second, with Kris Molle rounding out the top three.
