As heard on 96.5 The Ranch, the top time of the night on Wednesday at the Rangeland Derby belonged to Calgary’s Chanse Vigen.
The trip around the track in 1:12.85 is the second day money run he has made during the 2025 Calgary Stampede’s chuckwagon competition. He has also been second three times and fourth on the other day.
Heading into Night 7 Vigen and his VisitLethbridge.com outfit (7:14.95) is sitting first in the aggregate standings with over two seconds between him and Jamie Laboucane (7:17.51) from St. Walburg, Saskatchewan who is sitting second in his Panorama Advisory Group wagon.
