A fifth-year driver on the WPCA Pro Tour, Chance has earned a reputation as both a consistent competitor and a fan favourite. He made his debut run during the 2021 WPCA Pro Tour at the Dewberry World Chuckwagon Races where he not only won his first heat, but also placed sixth overall in the aggregate standings. By season’s end, he was named the 2021 WPCA Top Rookie Driver. A pair of top-ten runs marked his best results of the 2025 season. Chance also received the Kenn Borek Memorial Award for most sportsmanlike driver at the Battle of the North.
Chance is a fourth-generation chuckwagon driver whose great-grandfather, Jack Coates, competed throughout the 1950s at the Calgary Stampede and was among the earliest Canadian drivers to race at Cheyenne Frontier Days. Prior to moving into the big wagons, Chance spent nearly 17 years driving pony chuckwagons and pony chariots, capturing several show championships — highlighted by victories in Sundre and Drumheller, along with five consecutive titles at Buck Lake.
In the off-season, Chance is a farmer and rancher and works as a field operator for Cenovus Energy. He enjoys hunting and curling in his spare time. Chance and his wife, Amanda, have three children — Khloe, Colby, and Layne — and make their home in Buck Creek, Alberta.
