PBR | #InCaseYouMissedIt: Texas Rattlers storm to 2023 PBR Camping World Teams Championship

The 2023 PBR Camping World Team Series season is officially in the books, and today we’re looking back at a truly wild season-culminating event. There were huge upset wins, a whole bunch of 90-point rides, and when the dust settled, the Texas Rattlers stood the tallest. Miss a moment of the action this weekend? Here’s what happened around the PBR.

At the PBR Camping World Teams Championship…

DAY 1

The Rattlers got their weekend going with a drama-free win over the No. 8 Missouri Thunder.

Missouri, however, came out strong in the Last Chance Game to upset and eliminate the Carolina Cowboys and Nashville Stampede.

Missouri coaches Ross Coleman and Luke Snyder knew something special was brewing for their squad in Las Vegas.

The Arizona Ridge Riders defeated the Cowboys with a huge 4-for-5, walk-off performance…

The Oklahoma Freedom triumphed in a walk-off of their own against the Stampede, taking down the reigning champions by half a point.

DAY 2

The Rattlers were the first team to punch their ticket to the championship round, defeating the Freedom by one ride score.

Trade acquisition Eli Vastbinder was instrumental in the Rattlers’ win over his former team.

In a shocker, the Ridge Riders upset the No. 2 Kansas City Outlaws to advance to the semifinals.

The No. 1 Austin Gamblers also advanced to championship Sunday with a surprisingly narrow win over the Thunder.

But in another stunner, the Thunder k

nocked off the Outlaws and the Freedom by mere points in the Last Chance Game.

DAY 3

The Rattlers advanced to the championship game by defeating the Ridge Riders in a shutout in the semifinals.

Missouri’s luck ran out in the semifinals, though, as the Gamblers cruised through with a win and a championship berth.

In the third-place game, the Ridge Riders rebounded with a huge 4-for-5 showing against the Thunder to take the win.

The Rattlers also went 4-for-5, defeating the Gamblers to be crowned the 2023 PBR Camping World Teams Champions.

Rattlers closer Daniel Keeping earned some personal redemption after a poor performance in Las Vegas last year, clinching the championship for his squad.

Here are ten takeaways from the 2023 PBR Camping World Teams Championship – arguably one of the best events in PBR history.

Meanwhile, at the Challenger Series Championship…
