Has anyone heard about this?  NHRA Drag Racer Bo Butner painted his car like the General Lee.  It's a Camaro body, however Bo Butner is a huge Dukes Of Hazzard Fan.  In fact his name is James Butner but he changed it to Bo when he saw the Dukes Of Hazzard.

Here's a link to an article about his 'General Lee'.

This is awesome! Thanks for sharing it. This thing looks like it would have a chance in a race against the real General Lee. Well, maybe not since nothing can beat the most famous car in the world....still, this is very cool and he is now my favorite drag car racer. I wish I could write his name but this stupid spell correct won't let me. How did you do it Boss?

There's spell correct here?  I just typed Bo Butner's name and it worked.  I just did it again. lol

I'm a pretty low tech person so I don't know what I'm doing. Now that you mention it, that only happens at home on my tablet and not at work. Could it be that spell correct  is something that is on the device and not the website? 

Bo Butner won Pro Stock today at the NHRA Southern Nationals in Atlanta Georgia.  

This is Bo 2nd win ever in Pro Stock.  His 1st win was on April 23rd of this year(2017) at the NHRA Spring Nationals in Baytown Texas.  

His car isn't done up as the General Lee anymore but he's a huge Dukes Of Hazzard fan.

With a name like Bo I'm not surprised. Even though his car isn't a General Lee tribute anymore I'll root for anybody who is a Dukes fan.

The car he's driving this year is a different car then what he drove last year.

Bo Butner is a nice guy and a big Dukes fan so he's OK in my book.  I've been following the NHRA drag racing and will let you know how he does throughout this season.
