Tonight on Western Sports Round-Up, we break down Rounds Five and Six of the National Finals Rodeo, highlighting lead changes, standout performances, and how the mid-rounds played a large part in the final outcome in the standings.
We also take a deep dive into the mark out that knocked Stetson Wright out of contention for the average title in saddle bronc riding, and how that changed his pursuit for the triple crown in 2025.
Weâre joined by 2025 NFR Top Gun T.J. Gray, who opens up about his ankle surgery, how it may impact his 2026 season, and how this year’s NFR gives him confidence for the road ahead. PBR Velocity bull rider Lane Vaughan also joins the show, talking about the start of the 2026 PBR season, his recent win in Albany, and how it compares to competing in the PRCA.
