BO BANDIT
NHRA Pro Stock frontrunner Bo Butner and his Jim Butner Auto team set the standard
for Halloween costumes at the race track with their “Smokey and the Bandit”-themed
outfits during Saturday qualifying at the NHRA Toyota Nationals. Outfitted with Pontiac
Trans Am decals to complete the look, Butner’s ‘17 Camaro covered the Las Vegas
quarter mile in 6.672 seconds at 205.51 mph to qualify third in the 20-car field. Butner
went on to reach the final round, where he fell to KB Racing teammate Greg Anderson.
