Moraes Strikes Again!
Moraes Clinches the U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Company Challenger Tour Finals event title and Captures the 2003 Season Championship

The U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Co.'s Challenger Tour Finals took place January 12-14, 2004 in Denver, CO.


DENVER, Colo. (January 14, 2004) Brazilian phenomenon Adriano Moraes is officially on a roll. Moraes, who currently resides in Keller, Texas topped D & H Cattle Company’s Mossy Oak Mudslinger for a stellar 93.5 points during final round action of the U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Company (USSTC) Challenger Tour Finals hosted by the National Western Stock Show. The event title was doubly sweet for Moraes since the $36,357 in earnings from Denver propelled him to the top spot in the final USSTC Challenger Tour standings making him the 2003 Challenger Tour Champion, and the winner of an additional $10,000 bonus awarded by U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Company.

Having entered the Denver event with a commanding lead in the 2003 USSTC Challenger Tour rankings, odds were on Moraes' Brazilian counterpart, Paulo Crimber. With $61,782 in 2003 USSTC Challenger Tour earnings, Crimber appeared to have the title sewn up. Moraes had to win and win big in order to make up the $28,229 deficit separating himself from Crimber in the standings. Moraes managed to more than double his 2003 USSTC Challenger Tour earnings of $33,553 in Denver, and secured the 2003 USSTC Challenger Tour title with $69,909 in total earnings in addition to the $10,000 bonus. While the 2003 USSTC Challenger Tour Finals are held during 2004, 2003 Challenger Tour earnings combined with Challenger Tour Finals earnings are counted toward winning the overall 2003 season championship.

When asked what the secret to his recent success has been, a jubilant Moraes exclaimed, “Praying! I have to pray hard and be humble. I don’t ever want to change that. There was a time when the success that I had made me cocky, I thought I was bigger than anybody and anything – I don’t ever want to be that way again.”

In addition to the money, Moraes won two championship buckles from USSTC as the Denver champion and the year-end champion. Moraes currently leads the Built Ford Tough Series Standings and is in contention for an unprecedented third world title. Additionally he is dominating the current PBR World Finals qualifier standings with $92,595 in 2004 season earnings.
