Talk to anyone who works in the world of chuckwagon racing and you'll find out just how much these animals mean to them. Whether it be a driver, outrider, or barn hand, they'll say these horses are a part of the family.

They've been through a grueling season. Eight tour stops, weather conditions ranging from scorching heat to pounding rain, photo finishes, leaderboard changes, and it all comes down to this. 

With the final regular-season event in the World Professional Chuckwagon Association in the books, the stage has been set for the Century Downs World Finals at the Century Downs Racetrack and Casino in Rocky View County, Alberta, this week. The top 12 drivers in the world standings are eligible for the world title, with some close races ensuring it will be a photo finish right until the end.

We're counting down the days to the World Professional Chuckwagon Association's Century Downs World Finals by reliving the action from the entire season before we head to the Century Downs Racetrack and Casino to crown the 2019 world champion.

The Dawson Creek committee and World Professional Chuckwagon Association have come together to extend the Battle Of The North races another day so chuckwagon fans can have a full four days of racing action. Watch the final day–where competitors will race for $10,000 in a Dash For Cash–tonight at 5:00PM PST.
