a bull called 161 Firehouse of Folds.
According to Teel, “It was my best
ride of the finals. I scored a 90 on
him. It sealed the deal on the title.
That cinched it up for me. The way it
was looking I knew if I just stayed on
the second one I would win it. But I
rode the third one too and I ended up
in second place.”
The Cheyenne Frontier Nights
two-day performance featured the top
ranked bull rider contestants, who
qualified on points earned during the
regular season of the Mahindra Road
to Cheyenne Tour, a twelve-month
fourteen-stop televised tour that pays
out over half a million dollars and
concludes with the crowning of the
sport’s new World Champion.
Each night the cowboys cumulate points in each of the five rounds
based on their qualified ride scores.
These scores are added to their
regular season totals. At the end of
the CBR World Finals, there are two
champions, a World Champion and
an event champion, which rewards
the bull rider with the highest average points from the two-day event.
The national tour includes stops from
Jackson, Tenn., to Las Vegas, Nev.,
east to west and from Huron, S.D., to
Del Rio, Texas, north to south.
The World Finals event also
featured the “other side of the ride”,
CBR’s Million Dollar Bull Team Challenge World Finals, which paid out
over $699,000 on the Mahindra Road
to Cheyenne tour regular season. The
team of Mike Rawson and Jim Probst
were the victors in the night’s finale
with 292 points.

any winnings that came his way. He
reiterated his wish of adding to his
holdings, but admitted, “I’ll probably
add on this fall.” Teel is finishing out
the year in the PRCA and, “I’ll sort
through and figure out the rest come
September,” he said. “I got a check,
the buckle, the saddle and the Mahindra tractor. I’ll put it to use around the
place.”
When Parker County Today spoke
with Teel, he was enjoying a much
deserved week off from competition, but admitted he would be busy
through the end of September. “I’ll be
in the northwest, Oregon, Washington, Idaho. There’s still a lot of money
to be won,” he said.
