One of the young guns on the WPCA Pro Tour, Layne will be making his debut as one of two Chuckwagon 101 Drivers at the Calgary Stampede COWBOYS Rangeland Derby in 2024. The 2023 season saw Layne post seven top ten runs, with a ninth place overall finish at the Medicine Hat Stampede being his best of the season. Layne made his debut as a driver in 2018 at the Western Chuckwagon Association’s Grande Prairie Stompede where he won the day money in just his third race as chuckwagon driver.
A 3rd generation chuckwagon driver, Layne is the grandson of former drivers Herman Flad and Dwight Green, and the son of current driver Darcy Flad. He credits his father and the great Kelly Sutherland for helping him get started in the chuckwagon business.
Layne enjoys playing and officiating hockey and received the Ron Centazzo Memorial Award from Hockey Alberta for going above and beyond to make a difference within his hockey community. In the off-season Layne is currently working as a mechanical engineering intern with Roska DBO Inc. out of Grande Prairie. Layne is single, and makes his home in Bodo, Alberta.
