It was another great night for chuckwagon racing for eighteen drivers that are not participating at the Calgary Stampede Rangeland Derby presented by Play Alberta, as night two of the Teepee Creek Stampede was run under cloudy skies, but warm hot 22°C. Times were slightly slower than opening night, and when it wound up, Doug Irvine emerged as the day money winner after posting a fast run of 0:57.01.
Coming off barrel number 1 in the sixth heat, Irvine’s Dynamic Energy Group Inc. outfit was the fast time on the night by a large 84 one-hundredths of a second over veteran driver Kirk Sutherland. Injured driver Luke Tournier’s wagon which is being driven by his son Lane Tournier, place third, day 1 winner Jordie Fike was fourth, with Tuff Dreger rounding out the top five for the night.
After two runs, Jordie Fike and his Full Force Ventures Ltd. outfit sits in first lace overall with a two-run total of 1:54.78. Lane Tournier is in second place overall, 26 one-hundredths of a second behind the overall leader Jordie Fike, with Doug Irvine, Kirk Sutherland, and Doug Irvine’s number two wagon as the top five overall after two days.
The driver posting the best 3-day aggregate time will be crowned the 2025 Teepee Creek Stampede champion. The Teepee Creek Stampede will run through until Sunday, July 13, 2025.
