Before 2021, Josh Frost had a career-best finish of No. 14 in the PRCA Bull Riding World Standings. He had a breakout year last season and finished No. 2 and earned over $360,000 on the year. He proved last season was no fluke as he enters his third career NFR in the No. 2 spot, behind only Stetson Wright.
Frost has earned over $228,000 on the season, but still has plenty of ground to make up if he wants to claim his first Gold Buckle.
