GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The final countdown has begun for the 2024 General Tire Team Series as the top nine teams from the three qualifier events embark on Florida’s Rodman Reservoir or Lochloosa, Orange and Santa Fe Lakes for the Bass Pro Shops Championship Presented by B&W Trailer Hitches.

Meanwhile, Stephen Browning, Anthony Gagliardi and Keith Poche of team Ferguson placed second with 39 bass weighing 69-15.
