April 14, 2025 – Statesville, NC – Legendary bull rider J.B. Mauney is set to be inducted into the Iredell County Sports Hall of Fame this May, marking another milestone in an already iconic career.
A native of Mooresville, North Carolina, Mauney is one of the most celebrated figures in Professional Bull Riders (PBR) history. With two PBR World Championships (2013, 2015) and more than $7.6 million in career earnings, Mauney’s induction comes as no surprise to those who have followed his fearless rise to the top of the sport.
This honor highlights not just his national and international impact, but also his roots — bringing recognition from his home county for a career built on grit, determination, and unmatched courage in the arena.
The Iredell County Sports Hall of Fame celebrates local athletes who have achieved excellence and made significant contributions to sports. For Mauney, who recently retired from bull riding and was inducted into the Bull Riding Hall of Fame in 2024, this local recognition adds a personal and emotional touch to his legacy.
The induction ceremony will take place at a banquet in May, where Mauney will be honored alongside other notable figures from the region. For the hometown hero who once dreamed of making it big, this honor brings his journey full circle — proving that legends aren’t just made in the arena, but remembered at home.
