Chuckwagon star Chanse Vigen heats up just in time for Calgary Stampede yyc
To do that, he’ll have to fend off challenges from the likes of four-time Rangeland Derby champ Kurt Bensmiller as well as from Kris Molle, who raced to show victories in Grande Prairie and Calgary last season as well as at the Century Downs World Finals at Century Downs Racetrack and Casino last August.
The Rangeland Derby Rockstar — as track announcer Les McIntyre nicknamed him — sped around the track in front of GMC Stadium to win day money on three different occasions — and once more if you count the fact he subbed in for injured driver Cody Risdale and drove his wagon to the top time on the final night of the show.
“I just had a lot of confidence,” said Vigen after finishing ahead of Molle, MacGillivray and Evan Salmond to capture his first-ever Ponoka title. “Unbelievable week. The team is just so dialed in from start to finish. We were on a mission. “They’re the best No. 4 barrel outfit in the world and I think they proved that,” Vigen said. “All the credit goes to the horses and the crew. I’m just along for the ride and just very fortunate to have the team and the group of horses that we have.”Article content
