The Guy Weadick Days chuckwagon races get rolling this week with Okotoks Mark Sutherland as the defending champion.

He says he'd sure like to win it again.

"It's always great to get a new buckle every year. I got one last year from the High River show and the year before in Saskatoon. So, I'd like to keep the streak going!"

High River's Jason Glass sits seventh in the World Standings heading into the weekend.

Sutherland's 20th, with High River's Jordie Fike 29th and Mark's son, Dayton Sutherland in 35th.

The races run Thursday to Sunday at the High River Ag Grounds.
