White Motorsports announced on January 15th that an agreement has been reached between Steve Cote and White Motorsports to participate in all twelve races of the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series season and go after the Rookie of the Year title.
“I am excited to race from coast-to-coast at the highest level of stock car racing in Canada,” Cote said. “It is a privilege for me to be associated with NASCAR, White Motorsports and its owner Derek White. We will have two cars at our disposal, both of which are currently being upgraded to the latest specifications. Also, I will be reunited once more with my brother, Jonathan, who has already accumulated a year of experience with White Motorsports in the NCATS series. This will allow me to be competitive going in.”
Cote has already had his fair share of success as he won the NASCAR Whelen All American Series Quebec Championship in 2010. This past season, he ran modifieds at All American Speedway in Roseville, California where he finished second in points and claimed rookie of the year.
Steve Cote and the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series kick off the 2012 championship on the Mosport International Raceway road course (Bowmanville, ON) on May 20th. The 12-race schedule will visit racing facilities in Nova Scotia, Quebec, Ontario, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia.
