Labor Day marks the last three-day weekend of summer to relax, BBQ and enjoy the paid holiday with family and friends. For Nye it was a weekend full of potential earnings and hundreds of miles on the road between competitions. Nye drove from Texas to South Dakota across the Midwest and a side trip just 24 hours away to Nevada the following weekend for an eight second ride.
He collected his first September paycheck in Huron, South Dakota during the Championship Bull Riding (CBR) event at the South Dakota State Fair. On Thursday his 85.5 point ride put the first $1,500 in his bank account for the month. A home cooked meal and nine hundred miles later ending a 13-hour drive he bucked off Saturday in Palestine, Illinois at the Pioneer City Rodeo on a Championship Pro Rodeo bull.
Nye took a high-flying ride on the highest marked bull of the night with 92.5 points, 222X, Cody Jesus countered with 91 points on his bull Boomer.
The odometer of Nye’s Chevy Cruze is pushing 247,000. In the past two years, Nye has put on nearly 150,000 miles rodeoing. The drive to Laughlin was worth another $1,500 in his pocket and helped fill up his gas tank as he drove back to Iowa.
