Last season in Indianapolis, Dalton Kasel (Muleshoe, Texas) won his first event of the 2024 individual season, going a perfect 3-for-3. 

A star for the 2024 PBR Teams Champions Austin Gamblers in the recently concluded PBR Camping World Team Series season, Kasel tied for third in the opening round by covering Dream Walkin (Conaway/Ogden/Hart Cattle Co) for 86.25 points. Now on a roll, the Texan rumbled out of the chutes on Unhinged (Davis Rodeo Ranch/KHC Bucking Bulls) for another 86.25 points in Round 2 to seize the event lead. 

After earning his pick of the pen, Kasel chose I’m Legit Too (Hart Cattle Co/Hale) as his final animal athlete opponent. Knowing he needed 87 points to win the event, the Texas cowboy roared out of the chutes, scored a solid 88.25 points, and walked off with the win.

Past Indianapolis event winners include Daniel Keeping (Montague, Texas – 2023), Mason Taylor (Maypearl, Texas – 2022), Fabiano Vieira (Perola, Brazil – 2012), Robson Palermo (Rio Branco Acre, Brazil – 2011) and Justin McBride (Elk City, Oklahoma – 2004). 

The thrilling action for Ariat PBR Indianapolis begins at 7:45 p.m. ET on Friday, February 14, and 6:45 p.m. ET on Saturday, February 15. All competing bull riders will get on one bull each in Rounds 1-2. Following Round 2 on Saturday, the riders’ individual two-round scores will be totaled with the Top 12 advancing to the championship round for one more out and a chance at the event title.

In addition to the event title, riders will be competing for critical points in the thirteenth event of the 23-event 2025 Unleash The Beast regular season. After the conclusion of the 2025 PBR World Finals in May, the rider with the most points in the standings will be declared the 2025 PBR World Champion.
