DALTON KASEL DAZZLES IN LITTLE ROCK: Dalton Kasel went 3-for-3 to win his second event of the 2025 season in Little Rock, Arkansas, last weekend to climb back to No. 2 in the Unleash The Beast standings. The Texan rode Feeds Red River for a round-winning 87.75 points in Round 1 before covering Walk Hard for 89.5 points in Round 2. Holding the lead heading into the championship round for the fifth time this season, Kasel took advantage of a re-ride opportunity to cover Feeds Red River once again, this time for 89 points. Kasel now leads the field with eight premier series round wins this year and he is one of just four riders with more than one event win (alongside No. 1 Brady Fielder, No. 4 John Crimber and No. 8 Lucas Divino). Kasel had been 0-for-8 in 2025 championship rounds before converting in the short go in Little Rock. He takes on El Chapo in Round 1 on Friday.
Sitting 149 points ahead of Kasel in the Unleash The Beast standings, Fielder extended his ride streak to nine after going 3-for-3 for the third-consecutive weekend in Arkansas. Fielder rode Bittersweet for 83.75 points in Round 1 and Dark Thoughts for 88.5 points in Round 2. The Australian cowboy pushed his riding percentage to an incredible 70% by making the 8 aboard Eyes On Me for 89 points in the championship round to finish third in the event standings. Fielder tries to become the first rider since No. 33 Daniel Keeping last September to reach 10-consecutive premier series rides on Bull Light in the opening round.
