Eli Vastbinder took this weekend off to stay home with their new addition to the family, a baby boy born last Sunday. Mom and baby are home resting and both in great health.

Silvano Alves did not compete in Tucson, and is scheduled to start his UTB season in St. Louis. But not before competing in the PBR Canada National Finals next weekend in Edmonton, AB.

Daylon Swearingen battled through injuries in his 2022 World Title defense season and now he is ready for a fresh start. In an injury shortened 2023 PBR Teams season, he rode 4 of 10 bulls for Carolina. He did return for the series finale and is poised to start the new UTB season in Tucson.
Silvano Alves will start his 2024 campaign in St. Louis as well, as he is currently in Brazil and will return mid to late November. Fresh off the heels of a 3rd place finish in the PBR Teams MVP standings the veteran Alves is healthy and ready to start the season and improve on his 21stplace finish in 2023. Alves rode 16 of 29 attempts for Nashville; this 55.17% riding percentage was his highest sustained success rate since the 2014 UTB season, his third world championship year.
Eli Vastbinder was unsuccessful in two attempts over the weekend.
