Butch's Career highlights include a world record for speed at a 3/8 mile track which he set at Kalamazoo Speedway in Kalamazoo, Michigan in 1979. The record would go to stand for nine years before being broken. Butch won nine races during the season and later won the TRI-SAC championship in 1980. Butch was part of son Tim's crew during his American Speed Association (ASA) days.

He is married to model Kellee Meadows and they have one child, Willow Josephine Fedewa, born on January 8, 2009.

After winning Rookie of the Year award in the ARTGO Challenge Series Fedewa went on to join the American Speed Association. Fedewa scored one top five finish. A third place at Winchester (Indiana) Speedway, And five top 10's on his way to the ASA's Pat Schauer rookie of the award in 1991. During Fedewa's time in the ASA his car owners Ray and Diane Dewitt also owned the RaDIUS team that fielded cars for former ASA standout Ted Musgrave. Fedewa drove the # 55 D-R Racing Enterprises Ford. Fedewa's NASCAR career began when he started racing full-time in the NASCAR Busch Series for the 1993 season. He would finish second for Rookie of the Year honors, and in the five years that followed, he won three races and finished in the top-ten in points four times; his highest finishes were 7th in both 1995 and 1998.
