In addition to top professional drag racers and teams headlining the 2nd annual SCAG Power Equipment PRO Superstar Shootout at Bradenton Motorsports Park this coming February, three intensely competitive sportsman classes will also be on the roster. The Professional Racers and Owners Organization (PRO) announced that Super Stock, Stock Eliminator, and Top Sportsman will be contested at the star-studded event by invitation.
World champion driver, team owner, and Sportsman racer Bo Butner and wife Randi Lyn — an accomplished Sportsman racer who made her Mountain Motor Pro Stock debut at the inaugural PRO Superstar Shootout — will act as liaisons for the Stock and Super Stock classes. Royce Freeman will coordinate with the Butners to ensure a seamless integration of the classes into the program. ”After the awesome experience we had last year, we’re very much looking forward to being part of the SCAG PRO Superstar Shootout, and Randi Lyn and I are proud to lead up organizing the Stock and Super Stock portion of the program,” said Butner. “Sportsman racing has always been close to our hearts, and being able to bring such a fun race to these guys and girls that pour so much into the sport is really a cool deal. When I say this race is fun, it’s an absolute understatement. We can’t wait to see it all unfold.”
FTI Performance Converters, owned by Funny Car driver and team owner Paul Lee, will sponsor the Top Sportsman classes. “FTI Performance Converters, a long-time supporter and sponsor of sportsman drag racers, is once again excited to sponsor and support our Top Sportsman customers for this special invitation-only race,” said Lee. “FTI Performance, based in nearby DeLand Florida, has a long history of promoting Top Sportsman drag racing, especially in the southeastern part of the United States. As a participant myself in the 2025 SCAG Power Equipment PRO Superstar Shootout, I’m looking forward to a fun week of drag racing with my fellow drag racers”.
The Top Sportsman presented by FTI Performance Converters, Super Stock, and Stock Eliminator teams will receive three qualifying runs and will also participate in a chip draw to establish opponents each round. The Sportsman classes will be on track throughout the three-day event.
More sponsor announcements for this program are in the works leading up to the event. The event will feature autograph sessions, driver Q&A’s and additional fan-friendly entertainment elements. The PRO Superstar Shootout will once again be broadcast on FloRacing all three days.
