Baptiste brothers win in Onion Lake CPCA stop

Jul 5, 2021 | 12:00 PM

The Canadian Professional Chuckwagon Association (CPCA) wrapped up its second weekend stop of the 2021 season in Onion Lake Cree Nation on Sunday, where most of the prize money went to Todd and Ryan Baptiste.

Hailing from Cando, SK, the Baptiste brothers had a solid end to the five-day competition. Todd; the defending CPCA champion, won the Dash on Sunday for the third season in a row, with a winning time of 1:17.26, while Ryan took home the aggregate title. His four-day total was bolstered by his day-money winning time of 1:17.70 on Thursday.

Ryan now sits atop the 2021 standings with 350 points, just two ahead of Meadow Lake’s Logan Gorst and seven ahead of Danny Ringuette. After a slow start in Poundmaker Cree Nation the previous week, Todd is now in sixth place.

The CPCA tour now takes a short break this week, before the inaugural North American Chuckwagon Championships begin in Lloydminster on Sunday.
