The Henchman Racing Turbo Coyote Shootout pitted the quickest turbocharged 5.0-Liter combinations in the country against one another. The top qualifier – Bud Sell - came all the way from Greely, Colorado and ran an 8.24 at 168 miles per hour to top the 12-car field.

Those ETs carried him into the final round where he met Alan Wooford. As the tree dropped on the pair, it was evident that Burcham had the kitchen sink in it, and even with some traction issues, handily took the win.
