NACCs wow crowd in opening days

The North American Chuckwagon Championships (NACC) are back in the Border City with racing taking over Halstead Downs until Championship Sunday.

Now in its third year, the NACCs feature the best drivers and outriders from the World and Canadian Professional Chuckwagon Associations for nine days of racing with a $100K Dash and aggregate truck winner after day eight.

Races started last Thursday and ran until Sunday before the barns took a two-day break to recharge for last night.

With racing back in full swing, it’s still anyone’s game.

Last night’s final heats featured Dustin Gorst, Kris Flanagan, Brad McMann and Logan Gorst in Heat

6 before Dean Dreger, Luke Tournier, Devin Mitsuing and DJ King battled it out in Heat 7.

Day 4 results saw DJ King run a 01:16.40, Dean Dreger ran a 01:16.49, Kale Lajeunesse came in at 01:16.52, and Brad McMann wasn’t far behind with 01:16.58.

Halstead Downs is the place to be this weekend, don’t miss out on the action!
