KASEL HANGS ON FOR FIRST EVENT WIN OF THE SEASON – After leading heading into the championship round in the first two events of the season before being overtaken, No. 2 Dalton Kasel was finally able to hold on to the top spot last weekend in Wichita, Kansas. Living up to his nickname, Mr. 90-point started strong, topping Lap Dancer for 90.75 points to win the opening round, later following up his dominant Round 1 victory by scoring 90.5 points on Mr. Right Now to win Round 2, thus extending his lead in the event heading into the championship round.

While Kasel got the pick of the pen, he already knew that he had captured his first victory of the 2025 season by the time he roared out of the gate on Doze You Down. The powerful bovine competitor bucked off Kasel after 3.18 seconds in the final out of the weekend to end the cowboy’s bid for perfection. Despite the final buckoff, the victory netted Kasel a critical 138 Unleash The Beast points to close the gap on No. 1 John Crimber to just 16 points. Kasel takes on Baldy in Round 1 in Manchester this weekend.
