CLIMBING A MOUNTAIN

Randi Lyn Butner , one of the most accomplished women in the NHRA Lucas Oil Series sportsman classes , makes her official Mountain Motor Pro Stock debut while qualifying for the second annual Mountain Motor Pro Stock Invitational held during the WSOPM . Butner and her husband , past NHRA Pro Stock world champion Bo Butner , are running the newly bolstered Johnson ’ s Horsepowered Garage NHRA Mountain Motor Pro Stock series this season driving a pair of Frank Gugliotta-tuned , Elite Motorsports-fielded JHG Camaros . Though Bo qualified No . 1 and Randi Lyn qualified No . 16 , the husband-wife duo didn ’ t race each other in the first round due to the random chip draws for pairings . Both Butners did win the first round , though .
