Tommy Glass: Legacy of a Chuckwagon Legend

Legendary chuckwagon driver Tommy Glass, a four-time Calgary Stampede Rangeland Derby champion and beloved ambassador of the sport, passed away at 77, leaving behind an indelible legacy. More than a racer, he was a revered commentator, mentor, and icon of western heritage, deeply woven into the Stampede’s fabric for decades. Praised by Mayor Jeromy Farkas as one of Calgary’s greatest, Glass’s influence extended far beyond the track—his family’s multi-generational ties to the sport, including a 2003 Stampede parade honor with his mother Iris, underscore his enduring impact. His memory will forever be celebrated by fans and fellow drivers. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
