PUEBLO, Colo. - On the second-to-last ride of the day, 2010
Professional Bull Riders World Champion Renato
Nunes rode Bucking Machine for 90 points
to win the Built Ford Tough Series event at the Southwest Motors
Event Center on Sunday. He finished with 349.5 points, and earned
$38,852 for the win while climbing up to seventh in the Built Ford
Tough Series standings.
It was the second 90-point ride in a row for Nunes on Bucking
Machine (D&H Cattle Co/Buck Cattle Co. Shores Cattle Co.),
having tied for first with 92 points in the PBR 15/15 Bucking
Battle last week in Nampa, Idaho, on the same bull. Nunes won the
event in Pueblo in 2010, and went on to win the PBR World
Championship.
Top-ranked Valdiron de Oliveira, who was the
leader after Rounds 2 and 3, bucked off Jack Daniel's After
Party (Circle T Ranch & Rodeo) on the final ride,
securing the win for Nunes. Oliveira finished third in the event
with 260 points.
The only other rider to cover four bulls, L.J.
Jenkins, finished second in the average with 343.75
points, and moved up to second in the season BFTS standings. He
finished third in the Built Ford Tough Championship Round with
88.25 points on Rowdy All Night (Cody Ohl/Gary
& Nedra Keel/SPR Cattle).
Harve Stewart finished second in the championship
round, and fifth in the average. Stewart made it into the
championship round because of injuries to Robson
Palermo and Guilherme Marchi.
Gray Squirrel (New Frontier Rodeo) won the Pabst
Blue Ribbon Bull Award as high-marked bull of the event with 45.25
points out of a possible 50.
The Built Ford Tough Series will now take its annual summer break
before returning to action on Aug. 10-11 in Tulsa, Okla., for the
Express Classic presented by WinStar World Casino.
This weekend's Pueblo Invitational served as a homecoming for the
PBR, whose headquarters have been in Pueblo since 2007.
CBS Sports Network will broadcast action from Round 3 and the
Built Ford Tough Championship Round at 10 p.m. ET on Sunday, and at
2 a.m. ET on Monday.
Pueblo was the 19th stop of the 2012 BFTS season, which opened in
January with capacity crowds at Madison Square Garden in New York.
The BFTS will make 28 stops in 23 states before the Built Ford
Tough World Finals in Las Vegas on Oct. 24-28, 2012. The World
Finals are where the PBR World Champion will be crowned and awarded
the coveted championship buckle and a $1 million bonus. The richest
bull riding event in the world, the World Finals has a total purse
of more than $2 million.
The BFTS is televised every week on CBS, CBS Sports Network, NBC,
NBC Sports Network, and YouTube. BFTS telecasts are produced for
the PBR under a multi-year agreement with David Neal Productions, a
