Jason White to drive a FORD in Kentucky this weekend

[TeamBlueOval]

White switches to Ford for Kentucky: Jason White's season of surprises in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series continues this weekend at the Kentucky Speedway. The Virginia native will make his fifth start at the track outside of Cincinnati, this time it will be in the Built Ford Tough 225 driving the ASI Limited/Akzo Nobel Ford #23. Whites previous four starts at Kentucky Speedway were all in Dodges, but a rash of mechanical problems have the SS Green Light team looking for answers to gain a competitive advantage. Last week at Chicago, White drove a Chevy Silverado to an eleventh place finish and this week the team will bring a Ford to the mile and a half track in hopes of finding the right combination. White has improved with each visit to the Kentucky Speedway finishing eighteenth and fourteenth the last two seasons.(SS Green Light Racing PR)(8-31-2010)

I've noticed that Jason has driven Fords at certain "important" races for Ford. Like Daytona, Michigan & now the "built Ford tough 225" at Kentucky. Don't know if it's coincidence but there seems like Jason & Ford have some deal for a few races no?

I don't think he has a "deal" with Ford really, but they purchased some of Roush Fenway's old inventory when they shut down their truck team, so they have some Ford stuff to run. Ford may give them something for running FORDS at those races, or those may just be the races when they think the FORD chasis and engine will help them the most.

Hope he has a good finish too! Lol
