Race tightens

CPCA wraps in Little Pine, off to Frog Lake

Jul 27, 2021 | 11:37 AM

The CPCA wrapped up week four of the 2021 season in Little Pine First Nation and the race for first place is getting increasingly competitive.

Danny Ringuette of Bonnyville, Alta., took home the aggregate win over the weekend with a total time of 03:46.26. He edged out veteran drivers BJ Carey of Lloydminster, Logan Gorst of Meadow Lake and Todd Baptiste of Red Pheasant Cree Nation.

The win was significant for Ringuette for several reasons. Not only was this the first show in of his seven-year career, but he now sits in second place with 478 points, only three back of Gorst and 25 ahead of Ryan Baptiste. Ringuette’s best overall finish on tour was seventh in 2019.

The rest of the standings remain tight as well, with Carey and Todd Baptiste also having surpassed 400 points. Four more drivers are close to, or less than, 100 points back of Gorst. This means that results over the next three weeks are critical before the season ends in Lloydminster.
