Earnhardt Auto Centers proudly sponsors Grand Canyon Rodeo Association events

Written by

If you’ve been in the Valley for any time, you’ve probably heard of Earnhardt Auto Centers and their “No Bull” approach to automobile sales. Did you also know that Earnhardt is also among the sponsors of Grand Canyon Professional Rodeo Association events?
Based in Buckeye, Arizona, Grand Canyon Pro Rodeo Association (GCPRA) is Arizona’s largest professional rodeo association. The organization promotes and supports rodeo with events to showcase the skills of professional cowboys and cowgirls from the states of Arizona, California, Colorado and New Mexico.
GCPRA events offer thrilling competition for cowboys and cowgirls, as well as family friendly events for spectators of all ages to enjoy. Some well-known GCPRA events include Lost Dutchman Days in Apache Junction in February, the Deuces Wild Rodeo in Show Low in July, and the Navajo County Fair and Rodeo in September in Holbrook, Arizona.
The GCPRA also sanctions the Copper Dust Stampede east of the Valley in Globe and the Delbert Days Rodeo in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. For those seeking rodeo thrills out of state, GCPRA events include Red Ryder Roundup in July in Pagosa Springs, Colorado; Colorado River Roundup in Needles, California; April Fools Showdown in Shiprock, New Mexico; and Durango Fiesta Days Rodeo in Colorado. Wherever you go in the region, you’re likely to find a GCPRA event not too far away!
GCPRA also hosted its own rodeo finals event in November in Fort Mohave, Arizona. This third annual event included thrilling rodeo action with barrel racing, team roping, bull riding, bronc riding and steer wrestling.
GCPRA promotes professionalism and competitive rodeo events. As a long-time Arizona business, Earnhardt Auto Centers is also a proud supporter of all things rodeo and the Western lifestyle. Next time you’re in the market for a car, visit any of the Earnhardt Auto Centers around the Valley or in Las Vegas. You’ll like what you find!
