Before Bo Butner was an NHRA Pro Stock world champion , he was a heavy hitter in the NHRA ’ s sportsman ranks , collecting a Comp Eliminator world championship and numerous divisional titles . He didn ’ t outgrow sportsman racing when he went pro , though , as Bo and wife Randi Lyn ( formerly Shipp ) are deeply passionate about competing in categories like Stock Eliminator and the Super classes . In this interview , the couple shares how their racing careers have evolved , why they love sportsman racing , and what they see in the future for themselves and the sport . BY KELLY WADE
