Ketch Kelton roped his way into his NFR berth on the last steer of his 2026 regular season.
He and Denton Dunning placed sixth in the aggregate at the 377 Last Hoorah on Wednesday, worth $3,014.40 a man. The check moved Kelton from No. 16 to No. 14 in the heading world standings at $118,373.93. It put him past Nelson Wyatt and Dawson Graham, who holds the final heading spot at $118,044.59.
Wyatt came into the short round holding No. 15. He and Jonathan Torres placed sixth in Round 1, but they broke the barrier in Round 3 and went out of the aggregate. Wyatt finishes No. 16 at $115,721.19, $2,323.40 short.
Kelton earned $3,391.20 at the Last Hoorah, all on the aggregate check and an eighth-place Round 1 check. His NFR berth comes down to that aggregate check: without it, he’d have finished behind Wyatt.
Heeling field
Colter Todd holds the final heeling spot at $122,586.56. He won Round 2 with Derrick Begay for $4,333.20, then they took a no-time in Round 3. JC Flake passed him with a sixth-place Round 3 split worth $1,224.60, moving to No. 14 at $123,013.18.
Wyatt Cox, who came to Stephenville at No. 16, no-timed in the first two rounds and didn’t place in Round 3. He finishes No. 16, $5,532.89 behind Todd.
Trey Yates won nothing at the Last Hoorah and holds No. 13 at $123,488.75. Dunning’s aggregate check moved him from No. 12 to No. 10 at $127,229.24.
At the top
Kaleb Driggers and Junior Nogueira won the aggregate for $8,666.40 a man. They finish the regular season No. 1 in both the heading and heeling at $247,887.48 and $247,887.45.
Tyler Tryan and Nicky Northcott were the Last Hoorah’s top earners at $10,916.10 a man. They won Round 1, split third and fourth in the short round and split third and fourth in the aggregate. Both finish No. 2.
Cody Snow and Lane Mitchell were second in the aggregate for $7,536 and fifth in the short round for $405. That moved Snow past Begay to No. 9 and Mitchell past Kaden Profili to No. 8. Coleby Payne’s third-place Round 3 check moved him past Ross Ashford to No. 6.
