“There was a lot of carnage…It was a ‘wreck-filled’ race.” -Jason White
Jason White, placed 19th driving the A&W #21 car in the Delaware 200 at the Delaware Speedway Saturday night.
The Sun Peaks driver, and last year’s Rookie of the Year in the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series, did not finish the race due to a broken axle which Jason reported, “occurred when a fellow driver decided to spin him out and end his day with the broken drive train" on Lap 139.
Commenting on his failure to finish, Jason said that he had run a good race, with the A&W21 car “making several runs at the lead”. He started the race in 15th and had worked his way to 3rd spot before “he got taken out of the race”.
White says that the Delaware track “has a lot of character”. He said that if anything goes wrong there is “not much time to react”. Consequently “there is no margin for error”.
Despite failing to finish, Jason’s 19th place position puts in 10th spot on the earnings list for the season.
In post race comments Jason was full of praise for the Delaware Speedway fans. White was equally enthusiastic about promoter Jeff Wilcox, saying “we were treated like VIP’s.” Jason concluded his comments by saying “I now understand why Delaware is known as the “hub of stock car racing in Canada!”
White also said, “My team and I can’t wait to get back to Delaware and finish what we started today; a trip to the podium to receive the coveted trophy. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves until Lap #139! But we will be back. This is definitely a race I want to win!”
Racin Jason’s next NASCAR Canadian Tire Series race is next week at Mosport International Raceway where the drivers’ leave the oval behind and run for the championship on a tough 10-turn road course.

A&W food services of Canada, 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 is expanding all across Canada, with particular emphasis on Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic.
On your way to the next NASCAR CANADIAN TIRE SERIES race, be sure to "CRUISE " into an A&W near you!! See you at the races!!
