Racing career

Whitt's #61 before his final race for Specialty Racing at Milwaukee

Whitt won the Rookie of the Year title in NASCAR's Southwest Touring division in 2002 while attending college,[2] and made his Craftsman Truck Series debut in 2003,[3] driving the #38 Chevrolet Silverado for Clean Line Motorsports, a team his father owned. He finished thirteenth in his debut, and ran six additional races that season, his best finish a thirteenth at California Speedway.[4]

In 2004, Whitt and his team ran the Truck Series full-time with sponsorship from McMillin Homes and running Ford F-150s. Despite not finishing any race higher than 12th in his rookie season, Whitt finished 19th in the final standings.[5]

During the 2005 season, his team was purchased by Jeff Hammond and Tom DeLoach, renamed Red Horse Racing and switched to Toyota.[6] He won his first race at Memphis Motorsports Park (from the pole) after taking the lead from a spinning Ron Hornaday Jr. on the last lap.[7][8] He was dismissed from the team at the end of the season, leaving him out of a ride. However, Whitt soon signed with ARCA Racing Series team CLR Racing.[9] In 2006, he attempted his first NEXTEL Cup race at Phoenix International Raceway with CJM Racing and qualified 37th, but finished 43rd.[10] He was scheduled to run with CJM for 12 races in 2007, but those plans changed when Whitt was released from the ride.[11] Whitt drove one race later that season for Red Horse at Atlanta, where he finished twenty-third.[12]

Midway through 2008, he signed to drive for Specialty Racing in the Nationwide Series. On June 22, 2009, Whitt announced that he has left Specialty Racing and the #61 team. He has not raced since.
