July 19, 2011 - Sun Peaks, British Columbia racer Jason White usually has one of the longest journeys to race venues on the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series schedule. This weekend however he’s racing the #21 A & W Dodge Challenger close to home at Motoplex Speedway near Vernon, BC. White is excited about a very busy weekend of activity for the Cruisin’ the Dub 300 and will have plenty of family support at the track.
White had been on an impressive run in the #21 A & W Dodge Challenger with three consecutive top-ten finishes, but some mechanical misfortune snapped the run at the last event in Toronto. “We broke a rear gear or we might have continued that streak of top-ten’s” said White.
The #21 A & W Dodge Challenger team is now ready to begin a new string of successes and couldn’t pick a better location to get started. “This is my home track” said White. “It’s a big event for A & W who have made this race possible with their sponsorship and we want to put on a good show in front of all our fans that come out and pack the place every year” he added.
In addition to Jason White and the #21 A & W Dodge Challenger there will be plenty of other family support for his brother Jim White who will be in the #12 car. “I’ve raced against my brother for years and it’s a fun challenge for both of us” said White.
White’s involvement in the “A & W Cruisin the Dub 300 doesn’t stop there. Western Canadian racer Sarah Cornett-Ching will be in the #25 MS Society “Cruisin’ for a Cause” machine fielded by Jason White. “Shannon is a terrific young racer who’s going to do very well and we wanted to give her an opportunity to get some experience at this level” explained Jason White. “The number 25 is significant because on August 25th each of the over 750 A & W locations across Canada will donate one dollar for every Teen Burger sold to the MS Society. It’s a great cause
