2020 Hobbs Tuff Hedeman Bull Riding
Tuff Hedeman announced today that two-time National Finals rodeo bucking bull 370 Tequila Worm is headed to Hobbs, New Mexico for the kick off of the 2020 Tuff Hedeman Bull Riding Tour. Already in Hobbs are twenty-eight bull riders anxiously waiting to see which bull rider's name is listed beside the six-year-old superstar bucker owned by Carr Pro Rodeo.
Branded number 370, this bull is sired by the legendary Little Yellow Jacket and is just one of 50 great buckers on the roster tonight in Hobbs at the Lea County Events Center.
Former Hobbs bull riding Champ Boudreaux Campbell stayed strong through a powerful performance from 370 at the 2019 National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas. Thanks to "the Worm," Campbell scored 92.5 and captured the Round 6 buckle at the super bowl of rodeo.
“He’s a big giant bull with lots of moves and a lot of action to him; he will fade out into the arena a little bit, which was challenging,” said Campbell following his win in Las Vegas.“
370 has only been ridden four times since his 2018 debut in pro rodeo and sports an average ride score of 89.5 and an average bull score of 44.3 points. In addition to Campbell, NFR contestants Joe Frost (88 pts) and Jordan Spears (88.5 pts) have ridden him as well as Aaron Williams (89 pts) who won the short round on him in San Angelo.
370 made the trip with Billy Jones and is competing on the Car/Jones bull team.
Hedeman, who has produced the annual event in Hobbs for 11 years, brings a two-hour adrenaline rush event featuring a star-studded line up of world-class bulls pitted against the proven champs and the hottest bull riders on the tours today.
The doors will open at 6:00 pm, and the competition will get underway at 7:30 pm.
