The win, Butner’s 27th overall, came in a car he has just recently purchased from Aaron Kinard. Butner adjusted quickly to the Corvette roadster driving it to the event win over Linzi Meserve in the final round.

Bo was killer at the tree posting reactions ranging from .015 to .021 excluding a .030 on his fourth round bye. He also took out hitters such as Todd Barton, Ted Seipel, and Steve Williams on his way to the final.
