‘The Rangeland Derby Rockstar’ took center stage at the Calgary Stampede on Saturday night.

Chanse Vigen was indeed magnificent, winning the second night of the Cowboys Rangeland Derby on a warm Saturday night at GMC Stadium.

It was a very competitive night of racing with very good track conditions. As the sun set over Calgary, Vigen — driving the KMA Construction & KMA Scaffolding Services team — took the day’s win with a time of 1:11.76.

From Barrel No. 1 in the eighth heat, Vigen was the best car of the night, just 5/100ths of a second ahead of Jason Glass. Rae Croteau Jr. was third, followed by Day 1 winner Chad Fike and Doug Irvine who rounded out the night’s top five.

Former Calgary Stampede champion Jason Glass now tops the leaderboard with a two-day total time of 2:23.39.

That puts him 52 hundredths of a second ahead of Fike. World leader Croteau holds on to third place overall.

The day-money run left Vigen in fourth place overall – 64/100ths of a second from the third hole, with 2024 Grande Prairie Stompede champion Jamie Laboucane rounding out the top five overall after seven nights.
