PUEBLO, Colo. (October 30, 2008) - The 2008 Built Ford Tough Invasion of the Bulls program kicked-off on January 3, 2008 on the streets of New York City.
Ford Trucks hauled 125 tons of dirt, 10 of the world's most fearless PBR riders, and 24 of the rankest bulls to the corner of 8th Avenue and West 33rd Street to put on an impromptu bull ride which kicked off Ford Trucks 2008 promotion. The 2008 Built Ford Tough Invasion of the Bulls promotion scored big with fans. Over 100,000 registered for the promotion and now Ford Trucks is ready to announce the five lucky finalists. They are: Tamara Cass (Cedar Creek, Texas), Georgette Green (Olney, Ill.), Brook Hall (Akron, Colo.), Lee Nachtman (Nickerson, Neb.) and Troy Hashbarger (Leipsic, Ohio).
One of these five finalists will win a 2009 Ford F-SERIES Super Duty Truck and the title of Honorary Stock Contractor of the bull Super Duty. Each of the five finalists have won an all-expenses paid trip for two to this year's PBR World Finals, to experience the action in true VIP form as they receive an insider's view of PBR and hang out with the riders. "Ford Trucks are proud of our partnership with PBR linking the toughest sport on dirt with America's best-selling and most capable trucks: Ford F-Series. With unique prizing such as a VIP trip to the Built Ford Tough PBR World Finals, part ownership of our bull Super Duty and the keys to a new 2009 F-Series Super Duty, the Invasion of the Bulls promotion is truly an experience money cannot buy," added Kevin Schebil, Truck/SUV Alliance Manager – Ford Division.
The Grand Prize winner will be determined as Ford Truck's fifteen Invasion riders and five bulls have been randomly assigned among the finalists – designating each of the five contenders with three riders and one bull for the duration of the competition. Points scored by each rider and bull during a ride will go to their assigned finalist – all of which will be showcased via Jumbotron throughout the explosive competition. The Invasion finalists will also be featured on the dirt at intermission on Thursday, November 6th to be introduced to the Built Ford Tough PBR World Finals fans! The grand prize winner will be determined following the final round of competition on Sunday, November 9th where they will be presented with the honor of winning a brand new 2009 Ford F-Series Super Duty Truck and named the Honorary Stock Contractor of the Super Duty Bull!
