Article content The Rangeland Derby won’t go ahead this year. Photo by Al Charest / Postmedia Kurt Bensmiller called Thursday a “horrible day” for chuckwagon racing. Another driver who preferred to remain anonymous said: “There will never be chuckwagons run at Stampede again.” Earlier in the day, the Calgary Stampede formally announced that the annual Rangeland Derby would not happen in 2021. It’s the second year in a row that the most lucrative competition in chuckwagon racing was cancelled. Officially, the Stampede cited safety concerns as the primary reason for the cancellation. COVID-19 protocols had already forced the cancellation of races in Grande Prairie, Medicine Hat, Bonnyville and Saskatoon, and the Stampede said without those events building up the fitness of the teams prior to the big Calgary event, it was better for the long-term continuation of the sport to cancel.
