PBR Teams: Duluth marks the second of 12 regular-season events during the fourth PBR Camping World Team Series season. The action at Gas South Arena kicks off Saturday, July 26, at 6:45 p.m. ET, and continues with Day 2 at 1:45 p.m. ET on Sunday, July 27.
CBS GAME OF THE WEEK SPOTLIGHT: Sunday’s CBS Game of the Week will showcase two marquee matchups, with the Arizona Ridge Riders (2-1) taking on the Austin Gamblers (2-1), followed by the undefeated Kansas City Outlaws (3-0) facing the Carolina Cowboys (2-1). With four playoff-caliber teams on display, the spotlight will shine on MVP frontrunners from Kansas City as they look to extend their early-season dominance.
Brady Fielder (Texas Rattlers) enters Duluth as the No. 1 rider in the MVP standings with 267.75 points and a perfect 3-for-3 record. But with him questionable to ride with a fracture his fellow Rattlers roster Daniel Keeping, Claudio Montanha Jr., Macaulie Leather and Braidy Randolph, will need to carry the team in his possible absence.
Koltin Hevalow (Kansas City Outlaws), who sits No. 2 with 247 points, leads the only undefeated squad in the league. He's joined by teammates Maikon Calixton Rocha (No. 3, 177.75 points) and Sandro Batista (No. 4, 176 points), giving the Outlaws three of the top four MVP contenders heading into Duluth. They'll face the Carolina Cowboys (2-1) on Saturday and Arizona on Sunday in two key tests that could shake up the standings.
STRUGGLING SQUAD: The New York Mavericks (0-3) remain the only team in the league without a qualified ride. After being blanked in Oklahoma City, they’ll look to reverse course with matchups against Missouri and Oklahoma.
REMATCH RECAP: Fans can look forward to another face-off between Dalton Kasel and UTZ BesTex Smokestack. Kasel has covered the bull four times in five meetings, each marked 89.5 points or higher.
