Derek White (racing driver)
Derek White (born December 9, 1970) is a Canadian professional stock car racing driver. He currently competes part-time in the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series, driving the No. 53 Chevrolet Camaro for Joey Gase Motorsports with Scott Osteen, part-time in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, driving the No. 69 Ford F-150 for MBM Motorsports, and part-time in the ARCA Menards Series, driving the No. 66 Ford for MBM. He has previously competed in the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series.
In March 2016, White was arrested and charged with smuggling tobacco from the United States into Canada, and was suspended indefinitely by NASCAR a few days later. He was eventually reinstated by NASCAR after the Canadian Superior Court overturned his case.[citation needed]
White spent thirty years drag racing in Canada before deciding to switch to stock car racing in 2009. That year, he ran five races in the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series, with a best finish of eleventh in his series debut at Autodrome Saint-Eustache. The following year, he ran eleven of thirteen races, recording a top ten at the season-opener at Delaware Speedway. At the end of the year, he was named Rookie of the Year.
In 2014, White made a start in the American Canadian Tour, competing in the season-ending race at Airborne Speedway; he finished 22nd after starting 33rd.
In 2009, White made his Camping World Truck Series debut for Mario Gosselin at Martinsville Speedway, finishing 23rd after starting 34th.
In 2012, White was hired by SR² Motorsports to run as a road course ringer for the Nationwide Series race at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. In the No. 24, he finished a career-high eighteenth. Before the 2014 Drive to Stop Diabetes 300 at Bristol Motor Speedway, White formed Motorsports Business Management with driver Carl Long as principal. The team made its racing debut as MBM Motorsports at the race with Matt Carter as driver of the No. 13. For six more races in 2014, White fielded rides for himself, Long and Mike Wallace, failing to qualify for four and not finishing all six races they had qualified.
In 2015, White and Long were joined by team owners Rick Ware and Curtis Key as partners, and the team eventually added the No. 40 team. Before the Winn-Dixie 300 at Talladega Superspeedway, White was penalized 15 drivers and owners points for an unsecured ballast.
On July 13, White announced that he would make his Sprint Cup Series debut at the 5-hour Energy 301 in Loudon for Circle Sport, the first Native American to attempt a Cup Series race in series history. After qualifying 42nd, he finished 39th, eleven laps down.
