New York, NY (May 3, 2010) - PBR fan favorite Cord McCoy (Tupelo, Okla.), and his brother Jet, raced through the busy streets of Shanghai, China on the most recent episode of “The Amazing Race,” finishing the 11th leg of the race in second place. This means that the cowboys will be one of the final three teams to race for the $1 Million on next week’s season finale!
The final four teams spent their time in Shanghai again this week, searching the city for “The Garden Bridge” and arriving at the Longhua Temple, where they found their first Road Block. After arriving at the temple, one member from each team had to count the gold statues inside in order to receive their next clue.
From there, the teams encountered the second Road Block for this leg of the race. All teams decided to search a local stamp store for individual stamps with an image of a pig and their names on the bottom. The McCoys managed to sprint out of the store in first place, but one other team quickly passed them by in rush hour traffic.
Cord McCoy, who is currently competing on PBR’s Touring Pro Division, and his brother have won over the hearts of viewers with trademark phrases like “Oh my gravy!” and “Son of a buck!” and their dedicated cowboy work ethic. So far the brothers have won sailboats and vacations to Patagonia, Hawaii and Alaska.
Fans can catch the cowboy duo on the season finale of “The Amazing Race” next Sunday, April 9th on CBS at 8:00 p.m. ET. Check your local listings for details.
With only one episode of “The Amazing Race” remaining and the final three teams racing to the finish for $1 Million, Cord and Jet McCoy will soon be available for interviews.
