A sold out crowd of 10,565 people watched the Big Week Bull Riding Xtreme Bulls event at the Salinas Sports Complex tonight. Presented by Salinas Valley Ford, the Big Week Bull Riding continues to be one of the most popular events held each July, selling out again, like it did from 2015-2019 and in 2022. Cullen Telfer of Plant City, FL and Denton Fugate of Ash Flat, AR tied for the championship, each with an 87-point ride. Telfer rode Corey & Lange’s Stand by Me and Fugate rode Corey & Lange’s Cold Turkey in the long round to take the win. The championship buckle was sponsored by Rancho San Lucas.
