Kaique Pacheco 2019 St. Louis Recap

February 18, 2019

Kaique Pacheco returned to the PBR UTB tour this past weekend and went 1 for 3, the lone highlight a third place finish in round one with a bull score high enough to qualify for the event championship round.  Kaique earned 53 world standings points for his eighth place finish in the event and after sitting out the first five events, he begins his title defense in 83rd place in the PBR world standings.  Something to think about leading up to this week’s Iron Cowboy PBR Major event, the reigning PBR World Champion owns the PBR record with four PBR Major victories. He has won three consecutive Last Cowboy Standing titles and one Music City Knockout championship.

Up Next for PBR’s Unleash the Beast tour: The PBR UTB tour heads west to Los Angeles, CA for the 2019 Iron Cowboy at Staples Center.  The second of four PBR Major events in the season comes with a unique format compared to standard Unleash the Beast events.  Iron Cowboy is a minimum of two rounds and a maximum of five.  At least 25 riders will advance to Round 2, with any draw spots being filled by the current world standings heading into Iron Cowboy if there are less than 25 rides in Round 1.  If all riders buck off in Rounds 2, 3 or 4, then all riders that attempted a bull advance to the next round.

If there is more than one ride in the final round (Round 5), then the Iron Cowboy will be the rider with the highest ride score in Round 5.  If there are no rides in Round 5, then the Iron Cowboy will be the rider with the most round points that had competed in Round 5.

The seventh stop in the 2019 season gets underway Friday February 22nd at 7:45 pm PST and concludes Saturday February 23rd at 6:45 pm PST.   CBS Sports Network will air round two and the Championship round Saturday February 23rd 10:30 pm EST.

Team Brazil collectively went 11 for 18 and won for the second consecutive time defending their Global Cup win in Sydney AUS in June 2018.  Team USA – Eagles went 10 of 18 and fell 72 points shy (or one average bull score) to finish second.  The remaining teams rounded out the five country six team format as follows: Team USA – Wolves went 8 for 18, Team Australia was 6 for 18, Team Mexico went 4 for 18 and Team Canada 3 for 18.  There were no PBR world standings points awarded during the event.  Riders earned money, but not points.

GRANT ENFINGER FINISHES 2ND IN THE FORD ECOBOOST 200 AT HOMESTEAD-MIAMI SPEEDWAY
“[We needed] just a little bit of track position, I think. I honestly think the best truck won here tonight. I’m really happy for [Brett Moffitt and Hattori Racing] for winning the championship. That’s a small team doing really, really good. This No. 98 ThorSport Racing team has done incredible this year as well. If we could’ve snookered him on a start or got out in front of him, I don’t think [Moffitt] could’ve passed us. We were just off of him, it seemed like. On a short run, a long run, it didn’t matter. We were just a little bit off of him but hats off to these guys behind me. This Champion Power Equipment / Curb Records Ford F-150 was light years better than it was last year. It sat on the pole, had speed, so all in all it was a solid night.”

GRANT ENFINGER FINISHES 12TH AT TEXAS MOTOR SPEEDWAY 
“A little disappointed tonight because we’ve got to run for stage points. It just killed us in our track position. We just got held up by a lot of slow trucks at the beginning of the start, and that’s on me. We spotted everybody a straightaway or so, and just played catch up after that. I feel like we might’ve had one of the best trucks here, and we just didn’t take advantage of it. We were in position to run second or third there at the end and we just ran out of gas. It’s not really a testament to our entire year. We’ll have to go to Phoenix and win the race.”
