She earned a total of $495,437.00 in purse money.[1] Charger Bar beat Kaweah Bar three times in her racing career.[3] She was undefeated in 1971, and was named World Champion Quarter Running Horse.[4] Other honors included being named Champion Quarter Running Mare in 1972, 1973 and 1974. She also earned 144 AQHA racing points, which earned her the title of Superior Race Horse from the AQHA.[1]

Charger Bar went on to produce fourteen foals. Of those foals, twelve started races, and ten earned Register of Merits and ten won races. Among her foals were Proud Heritage, Go Proudly, and Blushing By.
