2019 NHRA Sonoma Nationals Super Gas winner Bo Butner
Bo Butner, the 2017 NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series Pro Stock champion and current points leader, made his Super Gas debut in Sonoma and won for the 27th time in his career. Driving a ’63 Corvette he recently purchased from Aaron Kinard, Butner won in his sixth different class when he defeated first-time finalist Linzi Meserve.
Butner red-lighted in the semifinals in Pro Stock but finished the job in Super Gas by beating Meserve, 9.949 to 9.963. Butner made it to the final after fellow world champ Steve Williams fouled in the semifinals.
