MOORESVILLE, N.C. - SR2 Motorsports is proud to welcome Derek White back to the wheel of the No. 24 Toyota entry in the NASCAR Nationwide Series. White, a North American Indian from Kahnawake, Quebec, will handle the driving duties of the No. 24 VIP Poker Toyota this weekend in the running of the Johnsonville Sausage 200 at Road America.
That familiarity sure does help and I will look to use that to my advantage when we unload at Road America. I am appreciative of the support of VIP Poker this week as well and I look forward to putting on a great show for them."
The Road America event will be White's fifth career start in the NASCAR Nationwide Series. He made four starts in the 2012 season with SR2 Motorsports with a best finish of 18th at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal.
He also has three career starts in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series and 30 in the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series where he was the Rookie of the Year in 2010.
"It is great to have Derek back with our SR2 team," added SR2 Motorsports team owner Jason Sciavicco. "We had some great races together last year and everyone expects another solid performance this weekend at Road America.
We should have had a top-10 finish at the Montreal road course event last year but some bad luck on the last lap ruined that. Road America is a very exciting race and Derek is a strong road racer so we feel a fun weekend is ahead of us."
The running of the Johnsonville Sausage 200 at Road America begins at 5:00 p.m. ET on Saturday, June 22, 2013. The race can be viewed LIVE nationally on ESPN and heard on affiliated MRN radio stations and on Sirius NASCAR Radio 90.
