MENOMONIE, Wisc. (WGBA) — Emmitt Bailey of Wisconsin won the USA Mullet Championship in the kid's division.
"I wanted cool hockey hair,” he said.
The 8-year-old boy has been rocking business in the front and a party in the back for the past couple of years.
Emmit and his father said they weren't expecting to win.
"Friday night at the football game — they were handing out flyers with QR codes to vote for Emmitt. It was a fun experience just how many people were backing this little guy,” said father Eric Bailey.
Emmitt said he plans to buy a go-kart with his $2,500 prize.
Since being crowned the USA Mullet champion, Emmitt said he has received a lot of attention, including being asked to throw the first pitch at a Milwaukee Brewers game in September.
He hopes to rock his iconic hairdo for years to come.
