January 10, 2012 (Craig Revelle – Finish Line Web Design) — It is hard not to look back into the past year for Luke Whitteker and the Whitteker Motorsports team and not see the improvement from the beginning of the year to the end. Just one year ago, Luke stepped into the Race 101 program in North Carolina with a strong desire to learn, and a year later, he is set to graduate and will take the valuable experience that he gained and continue to apply that to his racing career. He has met and worked with some great people in the program, shared some great times with fellow students and have made some memories and friendships that will last a lifetime.

Whitteker will wrap up his year with Race 101 in a graduation ceremony next month in Charlotte, North Carolina, where Luke and his fellow classmates will learn who was named Race 101’s premiere driver for 2012. The winner will be offered a ride in a Race 101 prepared Late Model for the 2012 season.

“I am really excited to graduate from the Race 101 program and see who will be named the premiere driver for 2012”, says Whitteker. “It has been an amazing experience so far, and winning the premiere driver would be icing on the cake”.

Whitteker Motorsports has been working hard over the off-season on their racing program and will once again race weekly at Cornwall Motor Speedway on Sunday nights this season, and following the Mr. DIRTcar 358 Modified tour. In addition, Whitteker will also be competing in Quebec, racing Friday night’s at Autodrome Granby, and competing in the 10 race Quebec Series that will see all 10 events televised on the French RDS Channel. Both Granby and Autodrome Drummond with host five events, and there will be full coverage including driver interviews and play-by-play that will be broadcasted by RDS.

“Having these races shown on TV will be a huge deal for everyone involved”, says Whitteker. “Anytime we can get our sponsors that kind of exposure is great. I look forward to being a part of that this coming season”.

Autodrome Granby is currently utilizing social media site Facebook by having a vote amongst several drivers. The driver with the most votes will have the opportunity to host their sponsors and have a special section in the stands for their fans for a night during the 2012 season.

CHEO stands for Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario. Whitteker Motorsports will soon make a donation of $1000 to the organization. That money was raised through Whitteker Motorsports t-shirt and merchandise sales during the 2011 season.

Whitteker will also take part in the Gater Racing News Motorsports Expo in Syracuse during the weekend of March 10th and 11th at the New York State Fairgrounds. Whitteker will have the racecar on display representing Finish Line Web Design. We encourage everyone that can make it to stop by the booth.
