Whitt Letdown in Loudon

Already, at only 20 years old and in his second NASCAR season, Cole Whitt sounds like a veteran. He finished 15th in Saturday’s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway — fighting the good fight for track position, which he never had after starting 18th and losing a lap under the furious pace set by the leaders.

“We never went backward, which is a good thing. But we never went forward, either,” Whitt said. “We just can’t to put together a full weekend. Track position is so important here, and we never had any of it.

“We’ll keep trying. Right now, we’re tying to get a win. We have a good group. We can do it … just need to put a full together. The good thing is we have a series of tracks coming up that we’ve run well at.”

Whitt ranks eighth in the championship — 66 points out of the lead, but only 19 out of fifth.
