Key Storylines
Championship week is finally here, and things are about to get crazy. First, we’ve got the Challenger Series Championship, where No. 1 Cody Coverchuk looks to close out the international season with a buckle. But 2023 Challenger Series Champion Alan de Souza is in the draw – can he win it a second year in a row? Then, all eyes turn to the Ride-In Round, which will determine which two teams advance to the PBR Camping World Team Series Championship in T-Mobile Arena. The Arizona Ridge Riders finished the season going 3-0 at home so they’re riding the hot hand, but the Nashville Stampede know how to win a championship, and the expansion Oklahoma Wildcatters and New York Mavericks are hungry to prove themselves in their first year.
