GND#52 Chanse Vigen-World Champion : Patch, Politics and Purse Pursuits!

Chanse Vigen makes his return to the studio for the second time, AFTER his return to the Podium for the 3rd Time! He was joined by his lovely wife Brie Vigen in the studio, and was happy to provide Chanse some moral support, as the "Rangeland Derby Rockstar" was completely hungover! (Racing Season was a few days away) Chanse has pulled of 3 World Titles in a row for the Chuckwagon Driver of the year honours, and is gunning for his 4th this season putting himself into elite status territory. He's a good ole Albertan boy through and through, and I was delighted to sit down with the champ and share some vino & dip packets, while swapping some good stories.  We hammer down on some of Chanse's races, his scary Wagon flip from last season, his busted up ankle, the elusive Calgary Stampede Dash for Cash, and naturally (as I tend to do) it veers off into politics a tad. Alberta Separation does come up again in this one, as does our Oil Patch. In addition we touch on the "I'm Your Huckleberry" initiative started by Brie, that gives back to families in need. They've partnered this season with Paul Van Ginkel, a Calgary artist, who painted a stunning re-capturing of Chanse and his hoses mid-race from a previous still photo, taken by Shellie Scott. It is insane! There will be many size variations available for purchase with the proceeds also going to the "I'm Your Huckleberry" charity. I'd say Buckle Up, but it's a given for this one!
