In Round 7 bull rider Tyler Bingham took a nasty spill that resulted in him being rushed to the hospital with extensive injuries. He was able to attend to the final round, though, showing his support for his fellow bull riders, and friend Sage Kimzey took note.

The following day, when thanking friends, family, and fans for all of their support, Bingham called Kimzey out specifically, noting:

Sage Kimzey you have gone above and beyond to show your love and friendship to me! I will never be able to thank you enough!”
