In Omaha, it was Big Machine who had the fuel to take first place at the PBR Bull Team Challenge event. Having a half-point more than runner-up The Tom and Jerry Show was worth $20,000 and earned Big Machine their second first-place victory of the season. Big Machine has now earned $50,000 for their firsts in Omaha and Kansas City, along with a second in St. Louis.
Big Machine still has its original five starting players. It hasn't had to call in any of its three alternates yet, and What I Say, Shane, Cat Man Do, Party Time and Gnash are certainly a winning pen. The only other team who has used their starting five at every team event to date is Lone Star.
With the exception of Cat Man Do, all Big Machine bulls come from Mark and Cody Hebert. “We're very, very happy,” confirmed Hebert. Cat Man Do is owned by NFL player Chad Pennington (#10 Bucking Bulls) and is out of J.W. and LeAnn Hart’s outstanding breeding program. “We’re proud of what he’s done and we’re really happy he’s on the Big Machine Team,” said J.W. of the bull he breed and raised.

The Tom Jerry Show continued their phenomenal season as well, adding another $10,000 to the $20,000 they won in Winston Salem at the inaugural Bull Team Challenge event. California Dreamin' posted a big 45.5 for the team, while Red Light contributed a 45. I'm a Gangster earned a 44.75. The team, comprised of Jerry Nelson and Tom Teague bulls, continues to have a consistently strong pen.
In third in Nebraska was Page/Haines with 219.75 points. With a 45.75, Hot Stuff was Page/Haines’ highest-scoring bucker. A quarter-point behind was Yankton Express, whose Sir Patrick posted their biggest number of the event with a 44.75.
Lone Star Bulls finished fifth with 218.75 after Hot Stuff and Avalanche were a few points off of their potential. In sixth was Twisters, who just had two team bulls bucking. |
