Gainesville Stock winner Randi Lyn Shipp
After driving her wheelstanding ’67 Firebird past Ed Longhany’s ’69 Camaro in the Stock final, Randi Lyn Shipp is now a six-time national event champion, but this one is easily her most memorable since it is not only the 50th Gatornationals, but she also got to share the winner’s circle with her fiancé Bo Butner, who won Sunday’s Pro Stock title. Shipp survived a double-breakout battle against Longhany in the final and also scored wins against Dan Fletcher and Slate Cummings, two of the most decorated Sportsman racers in the field.
