For PBR enthusiasts and those new to the sport, the arrival of the Unleash The Beast event in Johnstown signifies a triumphant return to the Keystone State. The last time the PBR thundered into Pennsylvania was in 2015, setting Allentown abuzz with adrenaline. The standout performance of J.W. Harris, hailing from Mullin, Texas, added an indelible chapter to PBR history as he went a perfect 3-for-3 in the Allentown Invitational, securing his third event win of the season.

Harris’s memorable ride atop Big Dan in Round 1 and his flawless cover of Preacher in Round 2 propelled him to victory. However, the crowning moment came when he faced off against Redbone in the championship round, scoring an event-high 89.75 points and stealing the show. This remarkable win saw Harris outclass two PBR World Champions, including the legendary J.B. Mauney from Statesville, North Carolina
