After two outstanding days of chuckwagon racing, the Championship Final Heat for the Dewberry World Chuckwagon Races has now been set. Chad Fike, Vern Nolin and Dustin Gorst will battle it out in Sunday afternoon’s $25,000.00 Championship Final for the Dewberry World Chuckwagon Races.
Chad Fike, driving the Al’s Contracting outfit, qualified for Sunday’s final in first place overall after posting the best two-day aggregate time of 2:19.02. Day 1 winner Vern Nolin slipped a little on Saturday night, but still qualified in second place overall, 3 tenths of a second behind Chad Fike, while Dustin Gorst moved up from 4th place overall at the start of the day to grab the third and final spot in Sunday’s Championship Final Heat. Kris Molle was in the crying hole, and finished in 4th place overall, 67 one-hundredths out of third, with Kurt Bensmiller rounding out the top five times overall.
On the day, it was Kris Molle and the Benoit Oilfield Construction outfit who won the day money with the fast run of the night after posting a 1:08.81 from barrel number 1 in heat number 5, 9 one-hundredths of a second over overall leader Chad Fike who ran in the same heat. Former Dewberry Champion Obrey Motowylo placed third on the night, with Vern Nolin and Dustin Gorst filling out the top five on opening night.
Day two of the Dewberry will run on Sunday afternoon, June 18, 2023 starting at 2:00pm Mountain time.
