Chanse Vigen makes history in chuckwagon racing at 2023 Ponoka Stampede
History was made at the 2023 Ponoka Stampede.
In a highly anticipated Hi Line Motorsports $75,000 Tommy Dorchester Championship final heat, Chanse Vigen, Evan Salmond, Layne MacGillivray and Kris Molle would run for the championship at one of chuckwagon racing’s most prestigious events on the World Professional Chuckwagon Association (WPCA) Pro Tour – the Ponoka Stampede on Sunday.
On one of the most exciting race nights of the year, Chanse Vigen, driving the Wentworth Oilfield Services Ltd. outfit, and along with outriders Rory Armstrong and Ethan Motowylo, broke a 61-year-old record en route to sweeping the 2023 Ponoka Stampede Championship.
“I just had a lot of confidence,” Vigen told Arnie Jackson. “Unbelievable week. The team is just so dialed in from start to finish. We were on a mission.”
