North of the Border...
Canada’s top riders returned home as Dakota Buttar pulled double duty, serving as both rider and event promoter for his namesake Energy Dodge Dakota Buttar Invitational in Kindersley, Saskatchewan, Sept. 5-6. The stop came in the middle of one of the tightest championship races in recent PBR Canada history. Jared Parsonage tightened the gap with a 2-for-2 outing in North Battleford, while contenders Jake Gardner, Garrett Green and Jordan Hansen all remain in striking distance as the title hunt heats up heading toward the Finals.

Saturday night, Andy Guzman delivered in the championship round aboard Brass Monkey for 86 points, clinching his second event win of the 2025 season.
