Wade Sundell is no stranger to the bright lights of Las Vegas. He is a world champion and an eight time Wrangler National Finals Rodeo qualifier but this year was a little different than his past years going down the rodeo road.
Sundell had to hit the road hard this year, he went to almost 100 rodeos but he finished the season in the no. 13 spot in the world with $79,160 and locked in his spot at the NFR this December.
A sweet spot for Sundell came towards the end of the summer. At the Xtreme Broncs Finale he got on Outlawbucker’s Little Muffin and Lunatic From Hell, of Burch Rodeo, at the Xtreme Bronc Finale in Rapid City, South Dakota where he won over $10,000. That same weekend he went to three other rodeos where he won first or second and it all totaled to over $33,000 and pushed Sundell into the top 15 in the world.
Wild West Wade Sundell is headed back to the Thomas and Mack.
