It was a tale of two different tracks Saturday night at the Calgary Stampede, one that left possibly the fastest driver of them all on the outside looking in at Sunday's championship final.
It was a tale of two different tracks Saturday night at the Calgary Stampede, one that left possibly the fastest driver of them all on the outside looking in at Sunday's championship final.
Chanse Vigen, who overcame seven seconds worth of penalties to climb back into the top three, was relegated to fourth place when a sudden summer thunderstorm turned the track into a muddy mess halfway through Saturday night.
Ross Knight, who had been in fourth place, three seconds behind Vigen heading into the night, ran in the fourth heat when the track was firm and turned in the second-fastest time of the night, at 1:12.27, four one-hundredths of a second behind Dallas Dyck's time of 1:12.23.
Meanwhile Vigen raced in the final heat of the night on a soupy track that was noticeably slower, turning in a time of 1:15.60.
That allowed Knight to make up an astonishing 3.33 seconds in a single heat, sliding him into the third spot and qualifying him for Sunday's championship final.
Vigen finished fourth in the aggregate, .59 of a second behind Knight.
