Dustin Egusquiza, Nelson Wyatt and Kaleb Driggers all have made between $128,000 and $126,000 this season. Before getting into the full stats, let’s take a look at how each of the Top 3 is faring as we approach the final month of the regular season.
Egusquiza, the World No. 1, ranks first among PRCA headers in Go-Round Wins (19) as well as 3.7 Second or Faster Runs (5) and 4.2 Second Second or Faster Runs (25). The Florida native also ranks in the Top 5 in Qualified Times and Average Time.
Wyatt ranks second in the world, but does not fare as well statistically as the two cowboys he is sandwiched between. Wyatt does not lead any categories, but ranks in the Top 5 in Average Time (6.87 seconds), 3.7 Second or Faster Runs (2) and Go-Round Wins (17), the latter of which he ranks second.
Driggers, the World No. 3 and winner of the last two Gold Buckles, leads PRCA headers in Average Time (6.30) and also ranks third in 4.5 Second or Faster Runs (19), Qualified Time Percentage (69%) and Qualified Times (68).
You can see how the Top 20 ranks in all six statistical categories and the full PRCA World Standings here.
