PUEBLO, Colo. - Back Seat Buckers is a groundbreaking new
program that allows anyone to become a bucking bull stock
contractor. NFL legend John Elway knows a thing or
two about being groundbreaking, so it's no surprise that he
embraced the chance to get involved with the PBR and ABBI as a
stock contractor.
The NFL great had more victories than any other starting
quarterback in history at the time of his retirement from the
Denver Broncos. Elway also was the starting quarterback for a
record five Super Bowls.
"We are so excited to have John Elway as one of our members,"
shared ABBI Executive Director Kaycee Simpson.
"Having a legend like this as one of our stock contractors is a
great honor, and we look forward to seeing him behind the
chutes."
The Back Seat Buckers will make history with an inaugural season
featuring half a million dollars in prize money, with the winning
bull at the World Finals in Las Vegas taking home $250,000.
"We started Back Seat Buckers with PBR because we wanted to bring
the thrill of bucking bulls to everyone," shared Simpson. "We
wanted PBR fans who watch the Built Ford Tough Series on TV and
come and fill our arenas, from Madison Square Garden to The Honda
Center in Anaheim, to be able to own a bull with no work and no
worry on their part. We've screened bulls from coast to coast
for bucking ability, and bought animals with elite bloodlines from
the top stock contractors in the country."
The Back Seat Buckers' bull draft will take place at Cowboy
Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on March 3. Elway knows a lot about
being drafted; he was the NFL's No. 1 draft pick in 1983. He was
also drafted by the Yankees while still at Stanford, although he
chose to stay in college and then make football his career.
Elway is planning on naming the bull he picks that day "Mile High
Miracle." Elway's Colorado ties run deep - as do the Back Seat
Buckers'. Pueblo, Colo. Is home to both PBR (Professional Bull
Riders) and ABBI (American Bucking Bull Inc.). It is also where the
100 elite bulls will be housed and trained. Back Seat Buckers
offers true turn-key bull ownership starting at just under
$12,000.
Although many sports stars are getting involved with Back Seat
Buckers, what truly makes it special is that it gives anyone - from
a housewife in Los Angeles to a Hall of Famer- an equal shot at
owning a champion bull. Spots are still available to join these
sports legends as a bucking bull owner.
Back Seat Buckers is a program of 100 elite Futurity bulls that
will compete against each other this season for a total of half a
million dollars in prize money. The Finals event winner will earn
his owner $250,000. There are still some spots available to
purchase a bull. For more information visit americanbuckingbull.com or
