A symbol of perseverance and greatness, Ray Mitsuing was more than simply a talented chuckwagon racer. Ray became a famous figure in chuckwagon racing over his thirty-year career.
Among the all-time great chuckwagon drivers, his seven championships from the Canadian Professional Chuckwagon Association are indisputable proof of this.
However, Ray's impact went far beyond the racing arena. His leadership and dedication to the Loon Lake First Nation were exemplified during his time as chief. Off the track, Ray had a reputation for being selfless and helpful.
