Trailblazer: Lisa Lockhart is First $4 Million WPRA Barrel Racer

Lisa Lockhart has added another milestone to her influential résumé, becoming the first WPRA barrel racer to surpass $4 million in career earnings following her performance in Tucson this weekend.

Tune into this week’s episode of The Rundown on The Money Barrel to hear how the math shook out when it drops today.

The 19-time National Finals Rodeo qualifier entered the 2025 NFR with $3,874,825 in career earnings and added $110,541.14 in Las Vegas.
