Derek White - Homestead Practice Update

Homestead Truck Practice Update for Derek White

   

Homestead, FL.  (November 19, 2010)  Derek White the 2010 NASCAR Canadian Tire Series rookie of the year began practice as scheduled for this weekend’s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series event at Homestead Miami Speedway on Thursday evening and made some impressive gains during the one hour session.  Rain showers delayed the final practice session until this morning and White continued to improve his lap times in the #6 Race101/OCR Gaz Bar Chevrolet.

 

From the first laps on the very fast one and half mile oval track Derek White felt very comfortable in the #6 Race101/OCR Gaz Bar Chevrolet.  “The Truck felt really good underneath me” said White.  “After each run the team made a couple of small adjustments and I was able to drive a little deeper into corner number one and we picked up some speed” he added.

 

The final practice session ran this morning due to showers on Thursday night.  Derek White again posted impressive lap times and was among the top five drivers who had the best 10 consecutive lap average speeds.  White only wished he had more time on the track.  “It seems that we got better and better as the session went on” said the driver.  “We also made one adjustment right at the end of the session that also helped the handling. 

 

White’s plan for the race in the #6 Race101/OCR Gaz Bar Truck is quite simple.  “We are to finish the race” he said confidently.  “I’m going to learn as much as possible and hopefully finish on the lead lap” added the driver.

 

Qualifying for the NASCAR Camping World Truck series from Homestead Miami Speedway takes place later today at 5PM Eastern.  The 200 mile feature race will go green at 8PM tonight.  The race can be seen live on SPEED with the pre race show beginning at 7:30PM.

Derek White - Camping World Trucks in Kansas

Derek White de Kahnawake, QC ce weekend était au Kansas pour essayer de prendre sont 3e départ en carrière dans la série de camion NASCAR Camping World Truck Series.

Derek White of Kahnawake, QC was attempting this weekend to qualify for his third NASCAR Truck Camping World Series (used to be the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series) start in Kansas.

Le régulier des séries ACT Castrol et de la série NASCAR Canadian Tire Series n’a malheureusement pu tourer un temps assez rapide pour se mériter une place parmi le groupe des 36 partants.

« Nous sommes arrivé ici avec un camion de courte piste tandis que les autres sont ici avec des camions de longue piste, nous avons donc dû composer avec un désavantage aérodynamique important. Sur la ligne droite nous étions jusqu’à 10mph plus lent que les autres. C’est très décevant » déclara White quelques minutes après que les dernières camionnettes aient complété leurs tours de qualification.

Si Derek White encaissait amèrement cette performance, il a déjà commencé à préparer les prochaines étapes dont une formation en circuit routier à Las Vegas prochainement. Une formation qui sera donné par Ron Fellowss.

A regular on the ACT Castrol and the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series fronts, he unfortunately was not able to turn a lap fast enough to lock himself in the 36 truck starting field.

“We got here with a good truck, but its a short track truck. Meanwhile the others came here with Super Speedway trucks. We had to deal with the aero handicap which made us some 10 mph slower than others on the straight aways” said White a few minutes after the last trucks had completed their qualifying runs.

If Derek White was visibly disappointed with tonight’s performance, he is already looking ahead. One thing he is looking forward is the road race class he will attend in Las Vegas. Povided by Ron Fellows i
