The finals of the Teepee Creek Stampede were run under cloudy skies, very good track conditions, and a warm 19°C. When the day wrapped up, a track record run on the final day helped vault Lane Tournier, driving the VJV Livestock Marketing Group outfit, and along with outriders Quinn Langevin and Britt Irvine, to the best 3 day aggregate time of 2:50.46 and the Teepee Creek Stampede Championship. It is the second consecutive show championship win for Lane Tournier as a chuckwagon driver, who won his first career show championship just last week at the Poundmaker Days Chuckwagon Classic, and the same for outrider Britt Irvine as an outrider who shared in both wins as an outrider for Tournier.
