Nashville, TN (4-22-11) – Jason White and his Joe Denette Motorsports team had a tough start to their weekend in Music City trying to get the No. 23 GunBroker.com Chevrolet dialed-in, but a never give up attitude allowed for a strong finish by the rookie team in the Bully Hill Vineyards 200 at Nashville Superspeedway.
Starting 29th, White battled a loose Chevrolet Silverado for most of Saturday’s 150-lap event. However, the Richmond, VA native battled his way back from a lap down utilizing pit strategy to gain 16 positions en route to a 13th-place finish in the fifth event on the 2011 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series schedule. The solid finish was a track best for White at the 1.333-mile oval. In five starts, the 31-year-old had two DNF’s and his best finish was 16th (2009).
Quotes:
“I feel like if we could have unloaded where we finished the race we would have had a top-5 finish today,” said White. “We were playing catch-up all weekend and just had to fight hard for what we got.”
“We got a lap down early on and spent most of the race trying to get it back. Once we did, we were good. I was loose on new tires and felt like I had my truck dialed-in with about 20 to go. Unfortunately, that caution came out with 12 to go and we lost momentum with those guys on new tires. I feel like if the race had stayed green we would have been sitting pretty.”
“I’m happy with the results of this team tonight. We didn’t unload a 13th-place truck and my guys worked hard today and didn’t give up on me and we were able to bring the truck home in one piece and have a good finish and most importantly a decent point’s day. We know what we need to come back here with and I can’t wait.”
