๐๐ฎ๐น๐น๐ and knew they needed to capitalize. They wasted no time getting the ball rolling. They were 3.6 seconds to win the first round and both take home $10,000. According to our calculationsโ๐ธ๐ฉ๐ช๐ค๐ฉ ๐ข๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ถ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ง๐ง๐ช๐ค๐ช๐ข๐ญโSmith should now be No. 10 in the world standings with $100,598.76 won on the year and Payne should be No. 11 with $95,663.46 on the heel side.
โI wasnโt nervous, I was ready to run that steer,โ Smith said. โWeโve been talking about that steer for a month. You put a lot into that steer and then at the time, you really just have to think itโs literally like no barrier and just turn the steer. You couldnโt overthink it. I was just wanting to get it for Coleby; itโs not right if a guy makes it and his partner donโt. I was sure glad to make a good run.โ

With Smith and Payne moving up in the standings after tonight, ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฐ๐๐ ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ผ๐ and ๐๐ผ๐น๐ฒ ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ will more than likely drop in the world standings. ๐ฝ๐๐โฆ they got the win in Pasadena, Texas, to give them some defense. They also were 4.3 tonight meaning they are solid in the aggregate heading into tomorrowโs second round. Another clean, solid run can move them on to Saturday.
๐๐ผ๐น๐ฒ๐บ๐ฎ๐ป ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฐ๐๐ผ๐ฟ and ๐๐ผ๐ด๐ฎ๐ป ๐ ๐ฒ๐ฑ๐น๐ถ๐ป also made a solid run, finishing right behind Theriot and Curry with a 4.6. Proctor should be No. 11 now with $98,487.42 and Medlin should remain No. 9 with $98,487.42.
Another bubble team knocking one down, ๐๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ ๐ฆ๐๐บ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ and ๐๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ด were 4.8 seconds. And though they were out of the round money, they set themselves up nicely in the aggregate. Summers should still be No. 19 with $81,018.02, and Long should now be No. 12 with $95,023.57.
๐๐๐ธ๐ฒ ๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ป and ๐๐๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐ผ๐ฐ๐ต didnโt have the run they were needing, slipping a leg and ending up with a 10.0-second run. Brown should now be No. 15 with $91,775.50 and Koch No. 14 with $91,775.50. Having a time, though, in the first round could play out in their favor in terms of the aggregate and moving on to Saturday. As long as they can get another one down, they should advance to the eight-man round.
