With family and friends looking on, Hailey Kinsel raced to a time of 13.76 seconds to claim the barrel racing title in San Antonio.
Kinsel grew up in Cotulla, Texas, which is about 90 miles from San Antonio.
“I get to drive around that truck and wave at my family all over the arena, lots of friends here tonight, it feels like home here,” Kinsel said. “I’m just glad Sis (her horse) likes it too.”
Kinsel was also victorious in the Semifinals which means she earned $20,000 on the weekend and $24,000 for the entire event.
“I’m really excited to have that cushion,” she said. “The less runs we can make for more money, I’m always excited about that.”
Dona Kay Rule finished second in the Finals and the rodeo with a 14 flat run. She won $10,000 for her run and $18,000 total in San Antonio. Cheyenne Wimberly and Jordon Briggs rounded out the Top 4 Saturday night.
