- Stetson Wright’s season keeps getting better. Wright won both the Saddle Bronc and Bull Riding in performance 8. He took the Saddle Bronc Riding with a 90.5-point ride. Wright’s night was far from over as he would split the Bull Riding round with Ky Hamilton, giving him three Bull Riding wins through eight rounds. Wright is leading the average in Bull Riding, where he already sits at No. 1 in the PRCA World Standings and is currently second in the Saddle Bronc standings.

- Jordon Briggs is back to being the projected champion after Wenda Johnson knocked a barrel in Round 8. With Johnson knocking a barrel, Briggs moved up to fourth in the average, which would be good enough to win her second straight World Title.
