Pro Stock standout Bo Butner raced to the provisional No. 1 spot behind the wheel of the JHG Mountain Motor Pro Stock entry today at the World Series of Pro Mod event. Butner posted two runs in the 4.090 range racing to the eighth-mile before a final qualifying pass of 4.060 seconds at 178.15 mph secured the top spot in the 16-car field.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s good to have a great team and great car behind you,\u201d said Butner. \u201cYou have a lot of confidence when you\u2019re capable of showing up and winning. It\u2019s not always that way. I drove a lot of stuff for a lot of other people and didn\u2019t have that feeling. It\u2019s still new to me. That was my fourth hit ever. It\u2019s different than driving my 500-inch Pro Stock Camaro but this is a lot of fun too. I can\u2019t wait to get on a quarter mile next week.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Heading into the last session Butner was No. 1 with a 4.094 second pass at 177.09 mph and during the final session Daryl Stewart of Jupiter, Florida, ran 4.076 seconds at 177.30 mph to move around him. Butner rolled up to the starting line and launched hard, but his car made a quick move to the center line and he was able to keep it under power and in his lane to move back to the top spot.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a little left but I don\u2019t know we are just having fun,\u201d said Butner, at the end of the day. \u201cI was pretty close to the center line. You just want to go just quick and fast enough. Right? That\u2019s how it is.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Butner and the rest of the Mountain Motor Pro Stock class will have two more qualifying runs tomorrow before a chip draw to determine first round match-ups on Sunday. Butner\u2019s wife Randi Lyn is also in competition in the Mountain Motor Pro Stock class and he is looking forward to a strong showing from the JHG team.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe guys at this race have all been awesome,\u201d said Butner. \u201cThey\u2019ve really welcomed us. They really welcome Randi Lyn and she\u2019s done a very good job. I\u2019m very proud of her. We\u2019ll have two JHG cars in the show that are going to be running pretty good and that\u2019s badass. We will get a couple runs during the day tomorrow which will help us for race day. Runs at night are fantasy land and they are fun but tomorrow is when we will get ready to race.\u201d<\/p>\n
