The Pendleton Whisky Velocity Tour’s PBR Tri-Cities Classic is bringing its 8 seconds of glory to the Toyota Center in Kennewick this fall.

The Kennewick tour stop on Sept. 10-11 will mark 19th event on this year’s Pendleton Whisky Velocity Tour and is its first-ever stop in the Tri-Cities.

The bull riding action in Kennewick will start at 8 p.m. Sept. 10 and at 7 p.m. Sept. 11 at the Toyota Center.

On Friday night, all 40 competing riders will attempt one bull each in Round 1. The same 40 riders then will return for Round 2 on Saturday evening.

After Round 2, the Top 10 in the event will advance to the championship round where each will attempt one final bull, all in an effort to be crowned the event champion.
