This particular chassis was used three times in July, including White’s season-best finish of fifth at Kentucky. This is also the same chassis White piloted to a 16th-place finish after leading the field for 43 laps at Bristol Motor Speedway in August.
Get to the Point: Following a 15th-place finish at Martinsville Speedway for White and Joe Denette Motorsports, the No. 23 GunBroker.com team is up one position to 18th in the 2011 NCWTS owner point standings. White is up one position to 15th in the 2011 NCWTS driver point standings.

“I like Texas believe it or not and who doesn’t love a night race. My results haven’t been that great there but it’s a track I enjoy racing at. It’s definitely a track I have the most experience at. It’s a fast, wide track with multiple grooves; it’s a track that definitely suits my driving style. We didn’t run great there in the spring but our program has changed since then, we have learned a lot and we are actually bringing a completely different chassis and set-up package back this weekend. There are two races left in the season and it would mean so much to me to finish out the season strong. To bring back a cowboy hat and my first NASCAR win from Texas, would be a dream come true.”
