FORT WORTH, Texas - PBR Rattler Days are nearing an end as night two leads Sunday to a whole new aspect of the game. With the PBR World Camping Series Championship looming, each team is riding to their best abilities as they swing over their last few bulls before heading to Las Vegas.

The Nashville Stampede kicked off the night as they took on the Carolina Cowboys in game five for the win. Boudreaux Campbell took a smooth first ride for the Cowboys' putting the team on the board atop Smooth Rumbull for 84.50 points.

The Stampede swung the scoreboard in their favor as 18-year-old Kaiden Loud covered Black Ice for a massive 88 points. Teammate Silvano Alves wrapped up the game with his 501st qualified ride on Bubba G walking away with 86 points.

The Arizona Ridge Riders and Oklahoma Freedom had a bit of tough luck in the top half of game six. Ridge Rider's Leandro Machado took the lead for Arizona as he topped Jacy's Pet for 76.25. Oklahoma swept the win, as Young Caden Bunch cleared Ink Spot for 86.50 points.

The Kansas City Outlaws clinched a first-round bye against the Missouri Thunder as they fought for the game win. Outlaw's Sandro Batista came out hot as he topped Rank Frank for 87.25 points. Following Batista, Missouri's Briggs Madsen tied the game as he matched Sandro's score of 87.25 points on The Maverick. Kansas City was fast to break the tie as Bob Mitchell took I'm a Baller for 8 seconds recording 84.25 points for the team.

The team's anchors for both the Outlaws and the Thunder left nothing short of riding it out for the team. Missouri's Kade Madsen electrified the stadium as he took on Electric Avenue for 87.75 points. Kansas City's Cassio Dias in the race for the Team Series MVP snagged a massive 88.50 points on Pickle Moonshine concluding the win for the Outlaws.

Wrapping up night two, the Texas Rattlers were on fire as they qualified four of the five rides pushing the No. 1 Austin Gamblers out of the win. Joao Ricardo Vieira took the lead for the Rattlers as he covered WSM's Sun Country for an 88.25-point ride. The Brady bunch came together as they each topped their bulls with ease securing the win for the home team.

The Gamblers are now at risk of being knocked out of the No.1 spot for regular season champs. Heading into Sunday, if Austin takes another loss and Kansas City pulls another win they are then ranked by aggregated scores from the season.

Arizona Ridge Riders 76.25 vs Oklahoma Freedom 86.50
