OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. – The Nashville Stampede (4-1) surged to the top of the 2026 PBR Teams standings with their fourth straight win, becoming the third unique team to sit on top after the final day of competition during Wildcatter Days presented by zone Premium Nicotine Pouches at Paycom Center Sunday afternoon.

Nashville dominated the Kansas City Outlaws (2-3) four rides to one, 358.5-90.2, to seal their fourth straight victory and take the top spot in the standings. Alan de Souza (Tremembé, São Paulo, Brazil) put the Stampede on the board in the bottom of the first with 89.35 points on King Tut before the Outlaws’ Sandro Batista (Pedra Preta, Brazil) gave Kansas City the lead with a monster 90.2-point ride on Walk Hard. The lead lasted until the bottom of the fourth frame when Nashville’s Daniel Feitosa (Guaraci, Brazil) bested Smack Ya for 88.2 points. Riquelmi Silva (Bom Jesus do Araguaia, Brazil) scored an additional 89.1 points for Nashville against Getcha Some and Gustavo Luiz da Silva (Inocência, Brazil) rode Lights Out for a monster 91.85 points.

Faced with two must-ride situations to close out the weekend, the Oklahoma Wildcatters (2-3) made the 8 both times to bring the home crowd a dramatic walk-off win, downing the Arizona Ridge Riders (2-3) 179.4-176.1. Arizona took the lead with back-to-back rides in the second and third frames with Eduardo Aparecido (Gouvelandia, Brazil) scoring 88.4 points on Bowser and Murilo Henrique de Oliveira (Pereira Barreto, São Paulo, Brazil) adding 87.7 points on Krispy Kreme. Oklahoma hadn’t recorded a qualified ride by the end of all Arizona’s outs but still had two re-ride opportunities to go.

Kaiden Loud (Kaufman, Texas) kept the Wildcatters’ chances alive by scoring 89.75 points aboard Woody, then Dickson, Okla., native Kase Hitt recorded the walk-off ride against Milestone with 89.65 points.

“We had a late night run last night, and I told (the guys) I hate losing,” said Hitt, who grew up 90 miles south of the Paycom Center. “We all agreed we’d come out here and bust our ass and get the job done. And that’s exactly what we did.”

“We’ve got the right guys, and it’s just a process for us. Every year teams try to put together the best guys they think can pull it off and I truly believe this is the best set of guys for this state to put everything together,” said Wildcatters Head Coach Greg Rhodes on the CW broadcast Sunday afternoon.

The Florida Freedom (3-2) continued to dominate the Austin Gamblers, bouncing back from a Saturday night loss, with a 178.65-89.3 victory over Austin (2-3). Austin’s Dener Barbosa (Paulo de Faria, São Paulo, Brazil) struck the first blow with 89.3 points on CID’s Kid, but João Lucas Campos (Porto Feliz, São Paulo, Brazil) put Florida on the board in the next out with an 89.15-point ride on Rankenstein.

Hobbling around the arena and originally not slated to compete, 2026 PBR World Champion John Crimber (Decatur, Texas) was inserted into the lineup after injuries sidelined two of his Freedom teammates. With Florida trailing late, Crimber delivered when it mattered most, covering Rock ‘n Roll for 89.5 points to beat the Freedom’s archrival. The victory also continued the two-time league MVP’s remarkable success against the Gamblers, as he improved to a perfect 5-for-5 in his last five games against Austin, with the Freedom winning all five matchups.

The Texas Rattlers (4-1) scored on only one bull, but it was enough to defeat the Missouri Thunder (3-2) by seven-tenths of a point with each team recording one ride. Brady Fielder (Clermont, Queensland, Australia) scored 89.25 points on Mike’s Motive in the bottom of the first, which made all the difference. Julio Cesar Marques (Tatuí, São Paulo, Brazil) rode Freedom Fighter for 88.55 points for the Thunder in the second but his teammates were then stymied by a rank quartet of bovine athletes.

Powered by siblings who knocked down two big scores and another replacing his brother in the lineup to record a monster ride, the Carolina Cowboys (3-2) rode three bulls, shutting out the New York Mavericks (0-5) 267.45-0. Thiago Salgado(Naviraí, Brazil) bested Rhino USA Mouse Trap for 88.4 points in the first to give Carolina the lead before his brother Adriano Salgado (Batatais, São Paulo, Brazil) backed him up with 88.65 points against Show Me The Money. Heading into the bottom fourth knowing the game was already sealed, Carolina’s Jake Lockwood (Volborg, Mont.), called in to Oklahoma City to complete Carolina’s starting lineup, rode Holy Shift for 90.4 points to record his first ride score in PBR out since 2020.

“(Head coach) Jerome [Davis] gave him the late call last night and needed him to come in and that’s what we need him to do. Come in and be 90, like we know he’s capable of,” said Jake’s brother and two-time PBR World Champion Jess Lockwood. “He showed right there why he’s on this team and why he’s one of the best riders on the team.”
