Where the Circuits Stand Heading Into August

Calli MontagueAug 7, 2026

With August underway and less than two months left in the 2026 ProRodeo regular season, the circuit races are starting to take shape across the country.

Several familiar teams are sitting atop both sides of their respective standings, with the No. 1 header and heeler roping together in a number of circuits. Brady Tryan and Derick Fleming lead the Montana Circuit, Bradley Massey and Zack Mabry sit No. 1 in the Southeastern, Darren Morgan and Shane Jenkins lead the First Frontier, and Kash Bonnett and Logan Cullen hold the top spots in the Maple Leaf.

Those standings are still far from settled, though, with plenty of circuit rodeos left to change the picture before the regular season ends.

Here’s where every circuit stands heading deeper into August. Standings reflect live PRCA circuit earnings as of Aug. 7, 2026.

Columbia River

Jake Raley (Brush Prairie, Wash.) leads the Columbia River headers with $15,465, while Clayton and Chase Hansen sit just behind him with matching $14,179 earnings. Riley and Brady Minor are also both inside the top six.
