Written by

For those who love classic cars, cowboys, and some of the world’s best bull riders, there’s no better place to be than the Barrett-Jackson Bull Riding Challenge. Held as part of the world-renowned classic car auction, this year’s event will take place between January 19-22 at Westworld of Scottsdale, AZ. Produced by Dirty Money Cattle Company this year’s event promises to be bigger and better than ever. As usual, many of the world’s top bull riders will be competing for the top prize, all the while having extensive media coverage from the Cowboy Lifestyle Network, Ak-Chin Indian Community, and the Earnhardt Auto Centers Road Team.

Top Competitors

Just as competitions from years past, this year’s Barrett-Jackson Bull Riding Challenge will feature many of the world’s best bull riders. Along with PBR riders, the event will also include high school rodeo champions, Indian world champions, Canadian champions, and plenty of up-and-coming bull riders eager to shock the world and steal the show.

Collector Car Auction

While many people are eager to see the exciting bull riding competitions, the classic car auction certainly keeps people coming back year after year. Billed as the world’s best auction of classic cars, it’s a great way for everyone to get a look at cars from a bygone era and reminisce about how great things were back in the day.

Family Entertainment

As with all Barrett-Jackson events, the Bull Riding Challenge at WestWorld has an excellent reputation as a great source of family entertainment. Along with seeing the numerous classic cars and bull riders, fans who attend can spend time interacting with many of the competitors, getting autographs and snapping one selfie after another. With more than 350,000 people expected to attend the car auction, there’s no doubt this year’s event will be one in which fans might be surprised who they see while walking around. With many celebrity cars up for auction, the chances of seeing a famous person or two are quite high.

Don’t Miss the Action

Along with watching many of the world’s best bull riders, you’ll also be guaranteed to have the time of your life.

Peter Varlet

Peter Varlet’s the cowboy critic you love to hate, until he’s right. Born during a thunderstorm in 1972 in Bismarck, North Dakota, he grew up watching his WWII vet dad battle to save their farm from corporate claws. Now, Peter’s the unapologetic voice of Western culture, with a historian’s grip on America’s past, acknowledging both its heroes and hypocrites. His truth to power articles are a no-holds-barred zone for rodeo reviews, cowboy movie takedowns, and ranching tricks that work. He’ll tell you why your country singer’s a fraud and how to fix a fence with only baling wire and spite. Peter despises corporate factory farms taking over and cherishes the DIY grit of real Americans. Politically correct? Nope. Trustworthy? Damn straight. He’s saving the West, one brutal truth at a time.
