Louisville is the home of the Kentucky Derby and the University of Louisville Cardinals, and this fall it will be the home of America’s fastest growing sport when the PBR (Professional Bull Riders) stops at the KFC Yum! Center on Oct. 9-10, for the BlueDEF Velocity Tour Finals.PBR-BlueDEF-Velocity-Tour-Official-FI

Tickets go on sale June 5 for the first ever BlueDEF Velocity Tour (BDVT) Finals event will make Louisville a global destination for the stars of the PBR. It is the last opportunity for the world’s best bull riders to gain the coveted points needed to move up in the PBR world standings and qualify for the prestigious $2.3 million Built Ford Tough World Finals in Las Vegas on Oct. 21-25.

On Friday and Saturday nights fans will see more than two hours of high-flying thrills and heart-stopping spills as the talented stars of the PBR hang on tight to their bovine counterparts who can weigh more than 10 times their weight in solid muscle, some topping 2000 pounds.  It takes just 8 seconds to be great at the PBR and the BDVT Finals is on that road to greatness.

The bull rider who earns the most world points throughout the PBR’s 2015 season will become the PBR World Champion and win a $1 million bonus.  The BlueDEF Velocity Tour Finals is the penultimate step to achieving that title, therefore all of this season’s greatest PBR stars will gather in Louisville for the final qualifying battle.

In addition to the likes of Kaique Pacheco, the 21-year old rookie sensation who is the No. 1 man on the BlueDEF Velocity Tour (BDVT), the No. 4 bull rider in the PBR world standings and the frontrunner for the 2015 PBR Rookie of the Year title, Louisville PBR fans are likely to see Gage Gay (No. 3 on the BDVT), Bonner Bolton (tied at No. 4 on the BDVT), andNeil Holmes (tied at No. 4 on the BDVT) riding alongside major league Built Ford Tough Series (BFTS) greats such as three-time PBR World Champion Silvano Alves, No. 2 rankedMatt Triplett, 2013 PBR World Champion J.B. Mauney (No. 3), and 2008 PBR World Champion Guilherme Marchi (No. 7).

In 2015 the BDVT Finals will also include the top competitors from the PBR’s international tours, PBR Australia, PBR Brazil, PBR Canada and PBR Mexico.  These international stars will be competing for a spot on the 2015 PBR World Finals roster, as well.

The total purse for the BDVT Finals is $100,000. The 2015 BDVT season’s overall winner, the rider who has earned the most world points at the BDVT level – which is one rung below the PBR’s BFTS – will receive a $50,000 bonus and qualify to compete at the PBR World Finals. The Top 3 performers at the BDVT Finals and the highest finishing international competitor will also have the opportunity to compete at the PBR World Finals.

For the first time ever, the PBR Fan Club will enjoy the first opportunity to purchase tickets for a BlueDEF Velocity Tour event. Fan Club tickets for the BDVT Finals go on sale today and can be purchased by calling PBR Customer Service at 800 732 1727.

Only 12 percent of Hoosiers Turned Out For Indiana Municipal Primaries

0

Secretary of State Connie Lawson today announced that 12 percent or 327,477 of the 2,661,239 Hoosiers who were eligible to vote in the May 5 municipal primary election cast a ballot. Not all Hoosier voters were eligible to vote in the May 5 municipal elections. Only voters who live in a city or town with an election this year or in a school corporation conducting a construction or tax levy referendum were eligible to vote.50aba0c34c8f9.preview-300

The complete 2015 Municipal Primary Election Turnout and Absentee Chart with voter statistics for each county can be viewed online at http://www.in.gov/sos/elections/primary15/2015MunicipalPrimaryTurnout.pdf. The report was compiled by the Election Division of the Secretary of State’s office from voter data gathered in 72 of Indiana’s 92 counties. There were 20 counties in Indiana this year that did not have a primary election.

“Congratulations to Starke County as they had the highest turnout in the state with 33 percent,” said Secretary Lawson. “I hope to see more counties have a higher turnout rate this fall. To encourage this, my office will conduct an unprecedented municipal election voter outreach campaign to remind Hoosiers to register to vote and to vote this fall.”

This primary saw an increase in the use of cost-saving vote centers. Bartholomew, Clinton and Huntington Counties used voter centers for the first time in this election. As a state senator, Secretary Lawson authored legislation giving counties the option to establish vote centers, which has the potential to significantly improve efficiency and reduce county election costs. Vote centers consolidate multiple precincts into a single location, enabling counties to save on costs associated with hiring poll workers and purchasing voting machines and supplies.

“In 2013, during the off election year, I held informational meetings for county election officials to educate them on the benefits of vote centers,” said Secretary Lawson. “The savings to taxpayers and the increased flexibility for voters are significant and I hope that counties who feel this is the best choice for their citizens will choose to follow suit.”

INDOT To Chip Seal SR 337 & SR 135 This Week

0

Indiana Department of Transportation maintenance personnel plan to chip seal nearly ten miles of State Road 337 south of Corydon and over six miles of S.R. 135 north of New Salisbury this week.  Flaggers will be on site to direct motorists around moving worksites.

caution-road-work-ahead-temporary-sign

Weather permitting, INDOT Seymour District crews will be begin placing chip seal materials Monday morning (JUNE 1) on S.R. 337’s northbound lane at its intersection with S.R. 11 south of Dogwood.  Work will proceed to Corydon’s south corporate limits.  On Tuesday(JUNE 2), crews hope to chip seal S.R. 337’s southbound lane between Corydon and S.R. 11.

The schedule calls for chip sealing S.R. 135 from S.R. 64 at New Salisbury north to Voyles Road on Wednesday (JUNE 3).  Chip seal materials will be placed on the southbound lane of S.R. 135 the following day—unless there are weather delays.
 
INDOT officials advise motorists to drive very slowly and with extreme caution on highways that have been freshly chip sealed to avoid vehicular damage from asphalt spray or loose aggregate.
 
Both routes will be overcoated with fog seals after chip seal applications have cured.
 
Chip seals/fog seals are extremely cost-effective.  Experience shows that every $1 spent on this kind of surface treatment today saves $6 to $14 in highway expenditures later.
Chip seal applications coat the highway with liquid asphalt—sealing pavement cracks and protecting the roadbed from harmful ultraviolet rays.  This extends service life and lowers overall maintenance costs.  Small chips of limestone are used to cover the asphalt—choking it from spraying vehicles or sticking to tires.  The aggregate chips also restore surface friction for improved skid resistance and driver safety. 
 
Fog seals are fine coatings of liquid asphalt sprayed over the chip sealed surface.  The fog seal dampens dust from limestone fines, assists in aggregate retention and adds another waterproof layer of asphalt sealer to further protect the highway.
