The National Championship Chuckwagon Races are held Friday through Sunday every Labor Day Weekend at the Of Ranch in Clinton, Arkansas. An estimated one hundred fifty teams compete in five different divisions for the title of National Champion.

An estimated 20,000 plus people will be on hand to watch 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 three 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. Four Ozark Mountain trail rides, beginning on Tuesday, are also included as part of the weekend's festivities.

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.


"The "Great Wagon Race" song by Junior Thomas.

For the past 20 years, the National Championship Chuckwagon Races have been held there. It started out as a party for a few friends. Then, Eoff came up with the idea of racing chuckwagons.

Chuckwagon Race Camping Info

2010 Schedule:

2010 Registration Form: or Full Newsletter & Form

CAMPING WITH EQUINE

All campers camp in the same place as they did the previous year. Campers should have a green camp sign on a tree in their area with name, address, and phone number. If you camp in the middle of the field, bring your sign with you every year and put it on a panel or your camper trailer. Someone from your camp must be in the camp no later than Wednesday prior to the races. If not, you risk losing your spot. Permanent campers may come in to clean up their spots, set up their trailers, panels, etc. on August 15 every year. The gates are open for permanent campers from 6 a.m. on August 15 until the FRIDAY before opening day on Saturday. No overnight camping is permitted until the Saturday opening day.

New campers can find a site the day they come in to stay. Do not take a spot that has a green sign or one that has been mowed, has panels set up, or otherwise looks as if someone is coming in to camp. To reserve that site for the next year(s), go to the West Gate on the final Sunday morning before 8 a.m. and request a green sign. That will guarantee your camping spot.

CAMPING RULES

All contestants and campers must wear an armband. This is a horse and wagon event. Use them to travel around the ranch. Leave your vehicles at camp. You may drive your vehicle to: a. The starting line and walk to the top after the performances and Saturday and Sunday mornings until 12:00 noon. b. Get water and use the showers No four-wheelers, motorcycles, or ATVs No cruising No driving after midnight No loud music after midnight No drunkenness, arguing, or fighting Keep your camps clean-take all trash with you when you leave Don't leave campfire rocks or wood-move them to the fence rows The track and the Snowy River Race course are closed except during the performance Shirts must be worn outside of camp NO GLASS CONTAINERS ON THE RANCH

CAMER HOOKUPS

There are a limited number of hook-ups with electricity and water. Equine are not allowed in this area. Campers who had a spot with electricity and water the previous year have first right of refusal. They will have until July 4 to reserve their spot for the upcoming race. Any spots that have not been reserved will be available for new campers. The cost is $60 for Wednesday-Sunday. Additional days are $10 per day. Golf carts or motorized ATVs are permitted in the non-equine camping area on top. They must be parked in the assigned parking area and not driven up and down the midway.
