Baptiste wins Frog Lake CPCA dash, Battlefords show in Poundmaker
There was another lead change in the Canadian Professional Chuckwagon Association (CPCA) point’s race, while other drivers are making a late season charge.
Todd Baptiste won Sunday’s Dash for Cash in Frog Lake Cree Nation, Brad McMann won the aggregate title for the second week in a row and Logan Gorst moved back into first in the CPCA driver standings. The 2019 CPCA champion ran the course in 1:17, more than a second faster than his competitors in the heat.
Baptiste said his team is starting to round into full racing form with just three weeks left in the season, a critical time if he wants to repeat as the points leader and be positioned well for the final dash in Lloydminster. Hailing from Red Pheasant Cree Nation, Baptiste is likely to have plenty of support in Poundmaker, a normal occurrence in his career, and has broken away from the crowd of drivers hovering behind Gorst and St. Walburg’s Jamie Laboucane.
