In front of a raucous, socially-distanced crowd at Rupp Arena in Lexington, Kentucky, Eli Vastbinder (Statesville, North Carolina) captured his career-first PBR (Professional Bull Riders) event victory, going a perfect 3-for-3 at the league’s Pendleton Whisky Velocity Tour’s Lexington Invitational.
The 29-year-old advanced to Round 2 after recording an 82-point score on Flea Flicker (Richardson Land & Cattle Co.) in Round 1 on Friday evening.
Continuing the momentum, Vastbinder remained flawless in the second round when he made the requisite 8 aboard Mr. Wyers (Rawson/Obernagel/Daisy’s Bucking Bulls) for 84.5 points.
Vastbinder then secured the victory in the final round when he became the lone contender to cover all three of his bovine athlete opponents during the two-night bull riding, covering Newsom (Rawson/Obernagel/Daisy’s Bucking Bulls) for 76.5 points in the championship round.
For his efforts, North Carolina-native Vastbinder earned a critical 31 world points. After beginning the event ranked No. 62 in the world, he surged 35 positions and is now ranked No. 27.
Thiago Salgado (Navirai, Brazil) placed second, earning 30 world points.
After winning Round 1 on Friday evening compliments of an 88-point score aboard Lil Williard (Richardson Land & Cattle Co.), Salgado was humbled in the event’s second round, when he was brought down in a quick 1.71 seconds by Chickasaw (CO Cattle Co./Bob Whisnant).
Undeterred, the surging Brazilian rebounded in the championship round, covering Money Moves (Mason/Smith Bucking Bulls) for 87 points.
Marking his career-first appearance on the Pendleton Whisky Velocity Tour, and fourth-evert event on American soil, Salgado rose from No. 68 to No. 38 in the world.
Tying for the Round 2 win, Marcus Mast (Middlebury, Indiana) placed third overall.
Mast first rode The Beast (Yount Bucking Bulls, LLC) for 87.5 points in Round 1, before winning the second round courtesy of an 87-point score atop Rip (3J Ranch).
His hopes of a flawless outing in the Bluegrass State were dashed in the championship round when he was bested by White Squirrel (Sho-Me Rodeo/Titan Cattle Co.) in 3.58 seconds.
Seeking his second qualification to the PBR World Finals in 2021, Mast is now ranked No. 37 in the world after beginning the league’s expansion series tour stop No. 82. He is 13 points outside of the Top 30 and a position on the elite Unleash The Beast.
Chase Dougherty (Canby, Oregon) finished in fourth place.
Fresh off his victory at the Touring Pro Division event in Texarkana, Arkansas, last weekend, Dougherty began the PBR Lexington Invitational on a high note, finishing fourth in Round 1 after covering White Squirrel for 87 points.
Following a 3.4-second buckoff aboard Speck (JQH Bucking Bulls-Skip & Elaine Jones) in Round 2, Dougherty concluded the event with a qualified ride, making the 8 aboard Driller (Richardson Land & Cattle Co.) for 87 points.
Dougherty’s Top-5 finish earned him 11 world points and he is now No. 32 in the world after travelling to Lexington ranked No. 36. He trails the world’s Top 30 and a position on the premier Unleash The Beast by a slim 6 world points.
Rounding out the Top 5 was Guatemalan sensation Rodrigo Melgar (Santa Rose, Guatemala) in fifth place.
Bucking off Bring It On (GEM Bucking Bulls) in 7.35 seconds in Round 1, Melgar was flawless on the final day of action for the PBR Pendleton Whisky Velocity Tour’s Lexington Invitational.
Melgar recorded his first score of the event in Round 2 when he rode Nightmare (Richardson Land & Cattle Co.) for 85 points in Round 2. He then won the championship round via an 88-point score aboard Blessed (Nothin’ But Try Ranch/Diggers Bucking Bulls).
The 23-year-old’s efforts earned him 11.33 world points and he is now ranked No. 31 in the world.
The PBR Pendleton Whisky Velocity Tour’s Lexington Invitational was also a stop on the 2021 Million Dollar Bull Team Challenge.
Mason/Smith Bucking Bulls won the performance with 278.67 points courtesy of the trips notched by Devil’s Smoke, Slim Shady and Money Moves.
Second place was SJ Ranch with 276.82 points, while Richardson Land & Cattle Company was third with 276.14 points. SJ Ranch’s team included Cheecho, Rip and Cimarron, while the bronze-effort from Richardson Land & Cattle Company was earned courtesy of outs recorded by Go Blue, Nightmare and Driller.

Indiana Conservation Officers are investigating a fire that damaged or destroyed twenty-two boats at Hoosier Hills Marina located at Patoka Lake.
At approximately 8:45 a.m., smoke from a boat in the “A” dock was observed. The cause of the fire is still under investigation by the State Fire Marshalls Office. No injuries were reported.
During the initial investigation, it was determined that after the fire started efforts were made by Hoosier Hill Marina staff to put out the fire. Two boats were moved from the docks, creating a fire break.
The marina is closed at this time while fire crews continue to monitor for potential hot spots. Staff from the marina are working to contact the affected boat owners.
Responding agencies included the Celestine Fire Department, Schnellville Fire Department, Dubois Fire Department, Memorial EMS, Dubois County Sheriff’s Department, Dubois County Dispatch Center, Indiana State Police, Army Core of Engineers, IDEM and the State Fire Marshals Office.

Brown Funeral Home in Milltown, Indiana is entrusted with the arrangements.
Indiana is home to thousands of Hoosiers who make their living by selling homegrown, homemade, and locally produced goods. Home-based vendors make everything from baked goods to honey, jams, and jellies. Right now, they can only sell their products at farmers’ markets and roadside stands, which limits their customer base and timeframe. To help them expand and succeed, I am authoring legislation this session so home-based vendors can sell their goods in person, remotely, or through a third party.
House Bill 1103 would open more avenues for home-based vendors to sell their products directly, online, or through a third-party vendor like a delivery service, retail shop, or grocery store. Vendors would be able to sell shelf-stable, non-hazardous goods and items such as baked goods, whole, and uncut fruits and vegetables, tree nuts and legumes, and syrups. The Indiana Department of Health, the Indiana State Department of Agriculture, industry groups, and food safety experts would also provide lawmakers with recommendations for expanding what home-based vendors could sell through these new avenues.
These changes will provide home-based vendors across the state more opportunities to connect with consumers, who are also demanding more locally sourced and produced goods. This is also a great opportunity to keep our hard-earned, Hoosier dollars in our communities.
House Bill 1103 recently passed out of the House of Representatives and is now on its way to the Senate for further consideration. As the demand for locally made products continues to increase, this is a common-sense bill benefiting Hoosier producers and consumers across the state. Small businesses, such as our home-based vendors, are critical to our state’s and local communities’ economic health.
