An Unfiltered Conversation With the Godfather of Team Roping

1209_01

In the newest episode of the Uncut & Real Raw podcast, Clinton sits down with Denny Gentry, a man who doesn’t just know the team roping industry, he built half of it. If you’ve ever swung a rope, watched a roping or cashed a check at one, Denny’s fingerprints are somewhere on your story.

Denny founded the USTRC in 1990, launched the World Series of Team Roping in 2006, and played a major role in developing the Riata Stallion Incentive in 2022. Alongside his wife Connie, Denny spent decades building the systems, opportunities and incentives that reshaped the sport into what it is today.

Clinton digs into Denny’s early days, the gambles he took and the pushback he powered through to elevate ropers and reshape the sport from the ground up. Denny doesn’t dodge a thing. You’ll hear the decisions that ruffled feathers and the ideas that seemed crazy until they changed the industry.

This episode is team roping history, industry insight and hard-earned truth all rolled into one unforgettable conversation.
