FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
WEST VIRGINIA SENATE OFFICIALLY HONORS U.S. MARINE CORPS VETERAN AND MOTORSPORTS HALL OF FAME ENSHRINEE JOSHUA ALLEN WHITE
State’s highest legislative body codifies historic driver’s milestones into the permanent public record as Josh White Racing announces 2027 ARCA Menards Series debut in the #04.
CABIN CREEK, W. Va. — Josh White Racing LLC (JWR) proudly announces that United States Marine Corps veteran, historic national stock car driver, and community advocate Joshua Allen White has been formally awarded an official Citation of Commendation by the West Virginia Senate.
Issued under the official authority and signatures of Senate President and Lieutenant Governor Randy E. Smith, Clerk of the Senate Lee Cassis, and Senator Tom Takubo (17th Senatorial District), the legislative honor permanently codifies White’s groundbreaking athletic milestones and institutional contributions into the official archives of the Mountain State.
The Senate Citation highlights White’s native Kanawha County roots, his honorable service as an MOS 1371 Combat Engineer with the 4th Combat Engineer Battalion, and his monumental achievement during ARCA Menards Series competition as the first 100% service-connected disabled United States Marine veteran to compete in a NASCAR national touring series. Furthermore, the document formally records White’s 2026 enshrinement into the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America at Daytona International Speedway—specifically within the prestigious "They Wore Two Helmets" exhibit—into the permanent legislative records of West Virginia.
"Whereas, Joshua continues his commitment to West Virginia through Josh White Racing LLC, headquartered in Cabin Creek, Kanawha County, leading the 'Laps of Honor' tribute program and co-founding the Veterans Motorsports Training Center to equip disabled veterans with competitive automotive and mechanical trade skills..."
Dual-Level Institutional Backing
The state Senate commendation arrives alongside a United States Senate Certificate of Special Recognition awarded to White by U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito, providing Josh White Racing with unprecedented dual-level federal and state institutional validation. Together, these honors formally recognize White not only as an elite athletic trailblazer, but as an enduring champion for military veterans across West Virginia and the nation.
"To have my home state’s highest legislative leadership—from the Lieutenant Governor and the Senate Clerk to Senator Takubo—place their official seal on our journey is an incredible honor," said White. "This citation honors every mile, every setback, and the daily commitment to prove that a service-connected disability does not define the limits of what a Marine can achieve. It reinforces that what we are doing in West Virginia matters to the entire state."
Completed Restructure and Rebrand: Purpose-Driven Competition
The state commendation comes at the completion of a total organizational restructure at Josh White Racing, establishing a disciplined corporate foundation to match its institutional backing. Operating under the executive leadership of Chief Executive Officer Brittany White, JWR has streamlined its governance out of its 4,160-square-foot commercial facility on MacCorkle Avenue in Cabin Creek, allowing Founder Joshua Allen White to focus entirely on on-track competition and veteran mentorship.
As part of this transformation, JWR has rebranded into a mission-driven motorsports platform anchored by three core impact initiatives:
* Life-Saving Veteran Initiatives via QRFup: Partnering directly with QRFup, JWR utilizes national racing exposure to combat the veteran su***de epidemic by providing immediate peer-to-peer quick reaction resources and mental health crisis networks for service members and their families.
* Workforce Development via VMTC: In direct alliance with the Veterans Motorsports Training Center (VMTC), JWR’s Cabin Creek headquarters serves as an active vocational incubator, equipping disabled and transitioning veterans with hands-on trade training in high-performance mechanics, structural welding, fabrication, and trackside operations.
* Honoring the Fallen via "Laps of Honor": JWR’s signature tribute program permanently dedicates on-track competition and national outreach to fallen service members and Gold Star families.
* Federal SDVOSB Advantage: Holding active Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business certification (USDOT #4541405), JWR provides commercial partners with authentic supplier diversity and ESG-aligned community ROI.
Expanding to the National Stage: 2027 ARCA Menards Series Debut in the #04
Backed by official state and federal recognition, Josh White Racing is channeling this momentum toward the official team debut of its national touring program in the 2027 ARCA Menards Series, fielding the flagship #04 entry under the JWR banner.
Prepared, assembled, and serviced directly out of the Cabin Creek facility, the #04 program will serve as a functional capstone for veterans participating in the VMTC trade program, with transitioning service members actively crewing and maintaining the race car at premier tracks nationwide.
"This legislative recognition proves our platform is built on real substance," added White. "Our restructuring gives us the operational clarity to execute at the highest standard. Debuting our own team entry in the ARCA Menards Series in 2027 with the #04 gives corporate America an authentic, state-recognized platform that combines elite national racing with tangible workforce development, su***de prevention, and honor for our fallen."
Josh White Racing is currently conducting partner outreach for primary and associate corporate marketing packages across its 2027 ARCA Menards Series campaign and regional dirt racing schedule.
