Harli White’s 2016 season schedule

February 10, 2016 //  by Horsepower & Heels

Harli WhiteAmbitious is an understatement when describing sprint Car racer Harli White’s 2016 season schedule.   She has opted not to focus on racing for points in any specific series, but instead has packed her schedule with more than 40 winged sprint car races and more than a half-dozen non-wing sprint car races for her tentative 2016 season schedule.

Harli White has also planned 12 midget racing appearances, including the season-opening weekend March 4-5 at Red River Speedway in Wichita Falls, Texas, for the Red River Roundup with POWRi Lucas Oil West Midget Series.

I hate points racing,” she said. “I picked my schedule racing wherever, whenever. I’m really excited about it. I looked and saw where the big races were and picked those.”

In addition to the opening doubleheader of the season next month, White will embark upon her first Indiana Midget Week with the Honda USAC National Midget Series May 31 through June 5

 I’m really excited about racing the midget,” she said. “We’ll have a couple of shows at some tracks I’ve run a sprint car at so that will be fun.”

Harli White 2016 season scheduleWhite’s first winged sprint car event will be the rescheduled Short Track Nationals at I-30 Speedway in Little Rock, Ark.,March 10-12 with the GoMuddy.com National Sprint League 360 Sprint Car Series.

She plans to compete in all but one of the GoMuddy.com NSL 360 events and will tackle Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour races in Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Washington and Iowa.

“We have a lot of multi-day shows on the schedule so it’ll be a really exciting year,” she said. “Also in April I have my wedding week so we’ll take that weekend off.”

Harli White ApparelAdditionally, White is pleased to announce several sponsors are on board for the 2016 season. The Mower Shop and The Body Works are Chili Bowl partners that extended sponsorships and White is also excited to welcome Sea Foam to the team.

“I’m so grateful for all of our partners for their support,” she said. “We are pushing ourselves hard this year and are able to do so thanks to the amazing fans and sponsors.”

White’s apparel is currently being finalized. She plans on having a variety of t-shirt designs with sizes ranging from youth small to adult 4XL in many colors for sale at her race trailer throughout the season.

Harli White begins 2016 with return to Chili Bowl

January 13, 2016 //  by Horsepower & Heels

Harley White Chili BowlHarli White will kick off her 2016 racing season this week at the 30th annual Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals Presented by General Tire.

This marks the third consecutive appearance at the Chili Bowl for White, who will compete in her family owned car.   During the off season, the team installed a fresh engine, new body and redesigned graphics  in preparation for the marquee midget event at Tulsa Expo Raceway in Tulsa, Okla.   White is set for preliminary competition on Thursday before the finale on Saturday.

“It’s huge,” she said. “It’s what every driver dreams of. I’m so honored we can race the Chili Bowl. Our last two years we’ve had good finishes. Our goal every year is to try to improve and do better than we did the last year.”

The Chili Bowl Nationals have been renowned as the ‘Super Bowl’ of Midget Racing since 1987, and feature over two hundred race rigs, bleachers for thousands of people and an ever-growing trade show.   The event is contested on the quarter – mile clay oval inside the River Spirit Expo Center at Tulsa’s Expo Square.   Without sun or wind to harm it, the indoor garden clay is heavily saturated so that the boldest dirt track artists can shine.

Harli White finished in a C Main each of the last two years, but she was in contention for a transfer to a B Main at both events.

“You have to have a lot of luck and skill,” she said. “You have to have a good car. You have to stay away from wrecks. It’s a lot of luck at the end of the day, but you have to have your skill to get you there.”

White competed in a handful of midget races in 2015 since last year’s Chili Bowl, including a top five finish last fall.

“This is the most prepared we’ve been for the Chili Bowl,” she said. “In the past we didn’t get to race the midget besides at the Chili Bowl and this past year we got to run it a few times so that should help.”
