NRA Partners with Local Sponsor for Beartooth Classic

The NRA is excited to welcome Big Sky Equipment as the presenting sponsor of the 2026 Beartooth Classic. The Red Lodge-based equipment dealer will provide significant support to the event, which is expected to draw over 200 competitors this summer. "Big Sky Equipment has been a longtime supporter of Montana rodeo, and we're proud to formalize that partnership," said NRA President Dale Whitmore. Big Sky Equipment's logo will appear on all event signage, programs, and merchandise. A portion of the sponsorship funds will go directly toward increased prize money in the roughstock events.
