SWEARINGEN AND CRIMBER TIE FOR ROUND 3 VICTORY: 2022 PBR World Champion Daylon Swearingen roared out to an early lead, topping Hoka Hey for an incredible fourth time in four outs, scoring 89.25 points to move into first place in Round 3 Saturday evening. However, in the fourth-to-last out of the night, 18-year-old John Crimber matched the former champ, covering Brown Bomber for 89.25 points of his own. The clutch rides were the first at the 2024 World Finals for both cowboys, pushing Swearingen to No. 15 in the Unleash The Beast standings and allowing Crimber to retake the No. 2 spot after Eduardo Aparecido jumped him with his Round 1 victory. Swearingen faces off with Doze You Down in Round 4 on Sunday, while Crimber dances with Ugly This.

ROOKIE KAIDEN LOUD REMAINS PERFECT: The only rider still perfect in Eliminations entering Round 4 on Sunday is rookie Kaiden Loud, who roared out of the chutes aboard Renegade for 88.5 points Saturday night. Moving up to No. 9 in the standings after the dust settled in front of a packed Cowtown Coliseum, Loud’s flawless performance in Fort Worth, Texas, has catapulted the Texan eleven spots up the Unleash The Beast ladder. A rider for the Nashville Stampede on the separate PBR Camping World Team Series, Loud began his first World Finals by riding Black Betty for 86.75 points to tie with No. 1 Cassio Dias for second in Round 1. Competing just over an hour from his hometown of Kaufman, Texas, Loud then covered Doze You Down for a career and event-high 91.75 points to win Round 2. He takes on Hunting Trip in Round 4 Sunday afternoon.
