The National Championship Chuckwagon Races are hosted every Thursday through Sunday on Labor Day weekend at the Bar oF Ranch in Clinton, Arkansas.

An estimated 20,000 people come to our small town of Clinton and bring tons of revenue to all of our local and surrounding communities. Fans get to witness the excitement of chuckwagon racing, bronc fanning, and the Snowy River Race – a thrilling horse race that includes two downhill runs and a plunge into the river.  

In addition to the four performances, bands perform after the races and dances are held Friday and Saturday nights. Vendors of western collectibles, crafts, art, saddles and tack are set up throughout the weekend at the Western Trade Show.

The National Championship winners in each division take home silver belt buckles and share in over $20,000 in prizes that includes saddles, jackets and “Chuckwagon Bucks” – prize money that can be spent at the Trade Show after the races.
