2022 Calgary Stampede Cowboys Rangeland Derby
It was described as another perfect night for chuckwagon racing as Night 3 of the Cowboys Rangeland Derby ran under partly cloudy skies and and a warm 23⁰C on Sunday night in Calgary.
Billy Melville says that once again it was a very tremendous night of racing, and reigning World Champion Chuckwagon Driver Obrey Motowylo, driving a Grant Production Testing Services outfit, posted the fast time on the evening with a run of 1:13.17.
From barrel number 1 in the 9th heat, Motowylo was 19 one-hundredths of a faster than Chance Bensmiller who grabbed second place on the night. Chanse Vigen, even with a 1 second penalty placed third, followed by Layne MacGillivray and Mark Sutherland filling out the top five on the night.
Chance Bensmiller now leads the overall aggregate standings with a three-day total of 3:41.32. That puts him 2 tenths of a second ahead of two-time finalist Chanse Vigen with Layne MacGillivray now holding down third spot overall. Kurt Bensmiller and Obrey Motowylo are in 4th and 5th place respectively, both less than 4 tenths of a second out of the top 3.
