High River's Jason Glass has won it all.

He not only took the Aggregate title on Sunday night after four nights of racing, but he also pulled off the big Championship win on Monday afternoon.

Glass was in the final Championship heat up against Jamie Laboucane, Chad Fike and Chanse Vigen with Glass setting a track record of 1:12.14 with the win.

While Chanse Vigen took the World Championship title with points it was Glass that brought home the $50,000 paycheque.

Glass' right leader horse 'Chaska' was also named as one of the four top equine Outfit of Excellence winners.

The championship was held in Ponoka over the last five days.

Of note, it was also Kirk Sutherland's final race as he now enters retirement after 48 years of professional chuckwagon racing.
