Competition is tight at the top of the overall CPCA driver standings going into the final two races of the season.
The Canadian Professional Chuckwagon Association schedule has hit the home stretch, as just two race events remain before the end of the season.
The wagons race in Meadow Lake Aug. 13 to 15 before wrapping up with the season finale at Lloydminster Exhibition Grounds Aug. 18 to 22.
It remains competitive at the top of the overall driver standings going into those events. Right now Logan Gorst leads the driver standings with 777.5 points.
In a tight battle for second are Ryan Baptiste at 737.5 and Todd Baptiste at 730.5, with B.J. Carey in fourth at 716 and Jamie Laboucane fifth at 708.
This past weekend saw the tour stop at Poundmaker Cree Nation for the second time this season.
The four-day event saw Jamie Laboucane take the aggregate for Davco Welding, with outriders Tyler McKenzie and Logan Pethick, with a time of 3:44.43.
However, in the final dash for cash it was Ryan Baptiste, with outriders Tiegan Larouche and Cody Hodgson, winning the title with a final heat time of 1:15.44 for Sunchild Law. Laboucane had actually crossed the line first, but was hit with penalties including the wagon knocking a barrel, and finished with a time of 1:19.52. Randall Stanley finished with a time of 1:16.71 for H & D’s Plumbing and Heating.
The week before, Laboucane’s wagon had taken both the aggregate and the dash for cash at Frog Lake, with a dash time of 1:14.84.
