Prior to the Kelvington races, King turned to social media to provide an update on his efforts this season in both the CPCA as well as the World Professional Chuck-wagon Association (WPCA) where he races as a permit driver.
“Made it back home for a few short days to regroup,” King posted July 30. “Had a solid last few shows in the World Professional Chuckwagon Association. We ended up cracking the top 16 that way. But, now off to finish the Canadian Professional Chuckwagon Association strong and hope fully give myself a chance to win a brand new whip at the Lloyd Finals. Big thanks to my crew who put in all the extra work to make this possible. And, huge thanks to Calvin Fiddler and Ryan Baptiste for doing a great job for me behind the lines. Time to represent my great sponsors who been with me from day one in the CPCA and a busy week next week with the kids at King’s Hockey School, then back to Ponoka for the World finals to try to hold a permanent spot for the 2025 season. Thanks again for everyone who has been apart of this crazy, busy season. Now, let’s go make it happen in the month of August.”
