The finals of the Teepee Creek Stampede were run under cloudy skies, very good track conditions, and a warm 19°C. When the day wrapped up, a track record run on the final day helped vault Lane Tournier, driving the VJV Livestock Marketing Group outfit, and along with outriders Quinn Langevin and Britt Irvine, to the best 3 day aggregate time of 2:50.46 and the Teepee Creek Stampede Championship. It is the first show championship win for Lane Tournier as a chuckwagon driver, and the first show championship win for Britt Irvine as an outrider.
Lane Tournier, who has been filling in for his father Luke Tournier after the elder Tournier suffered a season ending injury at the Wainwright Stampede, finished a whopping 2.01 seconds ahead of runner-up Doug Irvine, while veteran driver Kirk Sutherland, who briefly came out of retirement, placed third. Day 1 winner Jordie Fike was fourth and former Western Chuckwagon Association Champion Lane Kimble rounded out the top five overall.
As far as the day results go, as mentioned previously, Lane Tournier placed first overall on the day after establishing a new track record of 0:55.42 from barrel number one in the fifth heat. Evan Magee placed second, 47 one-hundredths of a second behind the new track record holder Lane Tournier. Lane Kimble placed third, Doug Irvine was fourth and Kirk Sutherland rounded out the top five on the day. Tournier beat the previous track record set by Jordie Fike on opening night by a whopping 1.47 seconds, and a total of five drivers bettered the mark set by Fike on night number one.
