PUEBLO, Colo. (September 15, 2008) - The fourth and final stop before the team PBR Shootout Finals was filled with excitement in Guthrie, Okla., where crowds were treated to several of the world’s top bull riders. Team Lee consisting of 2004 PBR World Champion Mike Lee (Decatur, Texas) and 2007 PBR World Finals Champion Wiley Petersen (Fort Hall, Idaho) took the famed Lazy E Arena by storm to earn a slot in the PBR Team Shootout Finals in Pueblo, Colo.
Lee and Petersen took home $50,000 in a winner take all competition against the top riders in the world, riding three bulls for a total of 256 points. Peterson scored 86 points on Wild Nights owned by Gene Baker / Homestead Genetics; 85.5 points on Atomic Bond from D&H Cattle Co.; and Lee rode Dippin Dot from the P-Bar-R Cattle Co for 84.5 points. Although he was bucked off in the fourth section, it did not affect the outcome and the win for the superstar team.
