In the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) and the Women's Professional Rodeo Association (WPRA) a dollar is a point towards the world championships in the 7 standard events. Two considerations are in play, the year-long season to be in the top 15 of each event to qualify for the other consideration, the Wrangler NFR. Championships are won and lost considering the 10 rounds of competition with 12.5 million dollars at stake in prize money in the city of lights.  To beat the top 15 in your discipline of ProRodeo in a round at the WNFR is special.  NV1 Radio Network is pleased to share the results of Round 4 of 10 and interviews with its winners, Mandan Hidatsa, Arikira, JC Yeahquo of Manderee, North Dakota with Buddy Hawkins of Texas and Saddle Bronc Riding 2X World Champion Ryder Wright.

In 1985, a Cherokee man named Clem McSpadden, the General Manager of the NFR and a contingency of forward thinkers including Benny Binion of Binion's Horseshoe Casino determined a new home for the NFR would be good in Las Vegas, Nevada.  We celebrate that move to the city of light 39 years ago with the results from Round 3 of 10, and interviews with winners, Steer Wrestler Will Lummas of Mississippi and Team Ropers Dustin Egusquiza from Florida and Levi Lord of South Dakota, USA.
