READING, Pa. – In front of a raucous Friday night crowd in Reading, Pennsylvania, Quentin Vaught (Crane, Missouri) rode supreme, winning Round 1 of the PBR (Professional Bull Riders) Pendleton Whisky Velocity Tour event inside Santander Arena, surging to an early lead at the Boot Barn Reading Invitational.

As competition got underway, Vaught was matched up with Chop Top (J Bar W). Matching the powerful animal athlete jump-for-jump, Vaught reached the requisite 8 for an opening round best 86 points.

In addition to propelling Vaught to the event lead, the score also earned the Missouri native a crucial 28 Velocity Global points.

Vaught, however, leads second-place contender and Pennsylvania’s own Grayson Cole (New Ringgold, Pennsylvania) by a mere 0.5 points entering Championship Saturday.

Cole was electric in Round 1, netting 18 Velocity Global points, when he outlasted Old School (J Bar W) for 85.5 points.

Brandon Davis (Cabot, Arkansas) and Dylan Smith (Ararat, Virginia) tied for third, each collecting 16.5 Velocity Global points.

The duo of riders delivered identical 84.5-point scores. Davis topped Pneu-Dart’s Southern Twist (Mike Miller Bucking Bulls), while Smith conquered Crazed Addiction (Cornwell Bucking Bulls).

Rounding out the Top 5 in fifth was Hunter Ball (Carsonville, Michigan).

Ball rode Devil’s Advocate (Cornwell Bucking Bulls) for 83.5 points, earning 15 Velocity Global points.

Action for the PBR Boot Barn Reading Invitational will conclude with Round 2 and the championship round on Saturday, Feb. 11. Action gets underway at 7 p.m. EST.
