Driving the #47 Fuel Doctor entry, Brett Butler is seeking redemption this weekend in the NASCAR Camping World series Nashville 200 at the Nashville Superspeedway.

In the race last spring, Butler cut a tire on lap 1, destroying the truck and showering him with fiberglass. He fought the next 200 miles with an injured truck to finish the entire race.

“The truck was running well that weekend, but we got off to a terrible start. We cut a tire early, and when it was all said and done, I was in the care center being treated for high carbon monoxide levels and stinging from the fiberglass,” Butler said.

This Saturday’s race will be an opportunity for Butler to get the finish he was looking for last spring, but there’s more than just revenge fueling Butler who sits in the top 20 in points.

“We’ve fought hard to put ourselves in the top 20 in points, and I know we’ve got a few guys biting at our heals. We’re close enough to catch a couple guys in front of us, but the two trucks behind us in points are only 2 points away from passing us. That’s only one position, so we need to go out and have a sold finish to keep those guys at bay,” Butler explains.

In only his second start ever at Nashville Superspeedway, Butler is determined to make this go-around more fruitful.
“This is my second trip to Nashville. I know the team is bringing a competitive truck, and I’ll have a better feel for what it needs and how to run the racing line on the track. This will be a better weekend than we had in the spring.
Guaranteed,” Butler said.

Practice for this event can be seen on Speed Channel at 12:45 am EST on Saturday, August 7th with qualifying following at 5:00. The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Nashville 200 will be televised live on Speed Channel from the Nashville Superspeedway on Saturday, August 7th at 9:00 pm EST.
