The Ram Rodeo Series has become a main attraction, drawing crowds as large as 300,000 fans watching the cowboys and cowgirls face the challenges and thrills of each of the seven traditional rodeo events. With all rodeos being live, there are never two shows alike! Whether it’s the National High School Rodeo Finals, Ram National Finals Rodeo or the NFR- the Ram Truck brand drives the spirit of the sport of rodeo! Through the Ram Rodeo Series, the Ram Truck brand is proud to be the Official Truck of the PRCA, WPRA, NIRA, NHSRA, and the NLBRA.
