“Five hundred miles is already a long time, so I don’t know that 600 is that much of a difference. By the time we get to 300 miles, you are what you are. No matter where you are on the track, you’re fighting for position at that point. And I think the guys at 25th on back are racing harder than the guys up front.
“It means a lot to be able to have Capt. Bartley’s name on the windshield of our Speed Stick Ford. Kurt Bartley works here at the shop and he and I have become friends, so I’m proud to have that personal connection on our race car. Kurt was in the military himself, and I know this tribute makes him very proud. Capt. Bartley was killed serving his country, and there’s no service or sacrifice greater than that.”
JUST THE FACTS: Whitt has four Sprint Cup career starts at Charlotte Motor Speedway … His best finish is 27th (2014) … Speed Stick returns as primary sponsor of the No. 35 Ford … The windshield decal of the No. 35 will memorialize Capt. John Bartley, uncle of Front Row Motorsports mechanic Kurt Bartley.
