EUGENE, Ore. – After the dust settled at the Pendleton Whisky Velocity Tour’s (PWVT) PBR (Professional Bull Riders) Eugene, Shane Scott (Molalla, Oregon) rode supreme to take the win in front of his home-state fans.

In Round 1, Scott recorded the first qualified ride of the night, sitting tall aboard Maximum Velocity (Big Bend/Flying Five) for a round-winning 85.5 points.

Paired with Timmy (Corey & Lange Rodeo) for his second out of the night, Scott rocketed out of the chutes but was unseated after 2.26 seconds.

Bouncing back, the Oregonian posted another 85.5-point outing on Smoke Show (Big Bend/Flying Five), becoming the only rider to make the 8 on Saturday evening.

Despite being bucked off by Nuff Said (Corey & Lange Rodeo), Scott’s 2-for-4 performance was enough to take home the event buckle.

The victory netted the Oregon cowboy 136 Velocity Global points.

The only other ride of the weekend belonged to Pokey Houghton (St. George, Utah).

The Utahn roared out of the gates aboard Catfish Joe (Corey & Lange Rodeo) in Round 1, posting a solid 84.5-point performance to begin his weekend.

Looking to take the event lead, Houghton shot out of the chutes on Pogo (JD Nix Rodeo Co.) in Round 2 but was bested by the powerful bovine competitor after 5.15 seconds.

Undeterred, Houghton attempted to bounce back on championship Saturday but was bucked off by Wishful Thinking (Wentz Bucking Bulls/King Rodeo) in 2.08 seconds in Round 3 and Timmy in 2.62 seconds in the final round.

The 1-for-4 performance garnered the Utahn 68 Velocity Global points.

Velocity Global points contribute to the Velocity Global Standings and determine which new riders are added to the elite Unleash The Beast throughout the season. The Top 3 Velocity Global riders who have not already qualified are also invited to the PBR World Finals in May.

In a dominant bull pen that forfeited just three rides across four rounds, Hell Bound (Hawkins Bucking Bulls) and Hoof Stock Genetics Mud Train (Cayon Oaks/JD Nix) split the Bull of the Event title, each marked 44 points.

PWVT action resumes next Saturday, April 20, at Intrust Bank Arena in Wichita, Kansas, at 7:00 p.m. CDT.
