SUN PEAKS, BC - The combination of A&W and Jason White is a natural fit. Both are based in British Columbia. A&W food Services of Canada is a coast to coast corporation with it’s head office in North Vancouver B.C. and White’s family and his RZ Racing team are located in the Sun Peaks area of central British Columbia.
But the western connection goes even further as Jason is the only full time NASCAR Canadian Tire Series driver located west of Barrie Ontario.
Commenting on his association with A&W, Jason said, “We are very proud to carry the A&W brand on our cars and equipment. We have teamed up with a great western based corporation, with intentions to Cruise into race tracks across Canada and into living rooms via TSN broadcasts for each race.”
White was not only the 2008 Rookie of the Year, but he also took home the “Most Sportsmanlike Driver” award. But Jason is not one to rest on past accomplishments. He said, “We have to pick up where we left off and be consistent while finishing races.”
Consistency comes from having a great team. White’s crew chief Brian Uptigrove is optimistic that his team has the stuff to survive the gruelling season of competition that is the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series.
Uptigrove says, “It’s been a great couple of years in this series. I can only thank the crew for the hard work and dedication it takes to compete at this level. We have grown into a very high calibre race team and now it’s time to step up and compete for some “top fives” and eventually some wins!”
The 2009 NASCAR Canadian Tire Series schedule welcomes two new venues this racing season. Delaware Speedway near London Ontario and the Auto Clearing Motor Speedway in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan will be the new challenges facing Jason and his fellow competitors.
Jason can’t wait for Race #5 (July 18th) on the schedule. That is when he returns to the Sun Valley Speedway near Vernon, BC. This is Jason’s home track. He holds a track championship and has put in more laps on this course than anyone of his competitors.
But this race has special significance for Jason. He said, “It is always fun to come home and compete in front of loyal friends and family. And, with this race being the A&W Cruisin' the Dub® 300, we really want to win it for our corporate partner A&W and for all the fans.”
A&W is Canada's original hamburger quick service restaurant chain, and today is one of its fastest growing. The first A&W drive-in restaurant in Canada opened on Portage Avenue in Winnipeg in 1956. The combination of great tasting burgers, onion rings and frosted mugs of famous A&W Root Beer® served by friendly carhops was an instant hit. Since then, A&W has continued to grow and evolve with the times, expanding into over 700 locations from Vancouver Island to Newfoundland. At the heart of that growth is the fact that, while so much of our world has changed, the simple things that made A&W so popular in its early days are the same today. We still serve A&W Root Beer in frosted mugs. Our onion rings are made fresh from whole onions every day. With a rich history behind us, we look forward to an even more exciting future ahead of us. A&W continues to expand all across Canada, with particular emphasis on Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic provinces. For further information go to: www.aw.ca
