FW: WHITE WITHDRAWS FROM "PIZZA PIZZA 200"

(On behalf of everyone in the racing community, we wish the White family good luck this weekend. We'll miss you at Barrie!... G.M.)

The Rz Racing Team has announced that Jason White and the A&W Monte Carlo will not compete this weekend in Barrie Ontario for the “PIZZA PIZZA 200”. Jason’s wife Melissa is having some complications with her pregnancy , she has been hospitalized for precautionary reasons and could go into labour at any time. This was not a decision that had to be made it was an obvious reality for Jason to stay with his wife in her time of need. “Obviously my wife Melissa has been very supportive of my racing ventures , and I now have to stay by her side throughout these uncertain and difficult times.”

This situation puts a spin on the chase for the 2008 NASCAR CANADIAN TIRE SERIES Rookie of the year battle that the team has been in all season long. It seemed that after the “COKE ZERO 200” last weekend that Jason had all but collected the trophy, now the team will have their work cut out for them when they visit Nova Scotia in two weeks for the “ATLANTIC DODGE DEALERS 300”. “We have been very excited to know we just had to start the last three races to win the battle , but with this situation it just makes it more challenging for us , and we have always been up for challenges”, explained White. “Whatever the outcome may be, I know as a team we have given it our best, and that is what is most important”.

A very special thanks goes out to the teams new found corporate partner A&W. A&W promotes family life and has been very understanding in this situation . “It means a lot to me to have the support of such a great organization in A&W”, remarked White. “ I will definitely be giving it my all when I get back behind the wheel , and doing what I can to carry the flag for “The Burger family”.

Who knows…..maybe the next great Canadian racer is about to be born!! See you all at the races!
