LAS VEGAS – Case Construction Equipment crowned the champion of its Triple Threat Rodeo series, following an exciting day-long competition among 59 of the United States and Canada’s most talented equipment operators at the 2012 World of Concrete show in Las Vegas. Case awarded prizes with a total value of approximately $140,000 at the competition’s conclusion.

Octavio Miranda, of Ancaster, Ontario, was named the Case Triple Threat Rodeo North American Champion and won a 2012 Ram 2500 truck for himself, and a new Case TR270 compact track loader and a Towmaster trailer for his sponsoring company, L.M. Enterprises.

Lloyd Lesher of Casper, Wyo., finished in third place, winning $1,250 in cash for himself, and a $2,500 CNH Capital Card for his sponsoring company, Andreehunt Construction. The CNH Capital Cards are redeemable for products and services at any North American Case Construction Equipment dealer. First-, second- and third-place finishers also received custom belt buckles recognizing their performance.

Also benefitting from the Triple Threat Rodeo program were Habitat for Humanity affiliates across North America. Case presented a corporate contribution of $5,000 to Habitat for Humanity Las Vegas at the championship event, one year after kicking off the Triple Threat Rodeo program with an identical $5,000 donation. In addition, each participating Case dealership made a donation to its local Habitat affiliate, bringing the total raised during the program for Habitat affiliates to $51,726.

Miranda, Long and Lesher proved their skills during the Triple Threat Rodeo Championship operating a Case F Series wheel loader, N Series loader/backhoe and Alpha Series skid steer through a demanding course of challenges that simulated some of the most difficult applications facing equipment operators in their day-to-day jobs. They earned their place among the five finalists who competed in an extreme test of skills to win their ranks as champion, second- and third-place finishers.
