JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (September 19, 2008) - The Professional Bull Riders’ (PBR) Built Ford Tough Series presented by Wrangler (BFTS) took Jacksonville, Fla., by storm as the top 45 bull riders in the world invaded the Jacksonville Veteran’s Memorial Arena for stop #28 on the elite tour. Number three bull rider in the world Kody Lostroh (Longmont, Colo.) took The Built Ford Tough Shootout round one victory after riding Chance, owned by Teague Bucking Bulls, LLC, for 90 points.
