Going into the 2008 Wrangler NFR barrel racer Lindsay Sears leads the pack of 15 women competing for the barrel racing championship on her horse “Martha.” (Sugar Moon Express)

Congratulations to Montana barrel racer Shelley Murphy from Helena.  She is currently in 3rd place and on her way to her first Wrangler NFR appearance. 

Also joining Murphy and Sears in Vegas is Brittany Pozzi-Pharr from Victoria, TX.  She trails Sears by roughly $35,000.  Last year Pozzi-Pharr ran away with the barrel racing championship in Vegas.  She broke the regular season earnings record.
