For the second year in a row, the WNFR pays a record $10 mil- lion and the barrel racers are running at an amazing $1.1 million. The huge boost in prize money led to 5 barrel racers winning over $100k & 8 barrel racers winning more than $80k at the 2015 WNFR. This was the toughest year in history to make the WNFR in bar- rel racing, in fact it took a record $79,068 just to make the Finals, this was almost $20k more than in 2015. On top of that, world leader Mary Burger became the all time regular season earnings record holder and became the 3rd barrel racer to wear the #1 on her back with her $190,977 in 2016 earnings (others are Charmayne James, 1987, Sherry Cervi, 1995). So it really was a record breaking year in 2016. On that note, Mary Burger will set another record when she runs down the alley Thursday night as being the oldest NFR contestant (either male or female) at 68 yrs old.
