Inside Line Promotions – ABERDEEN, S.D. (July 18, 2018) – Harli White visited a pair of tracks for the first time during the last week and she nearly pocketed a pair of top 10s.
“It helps a lot going to new tracks,” she said. “You have to adapt really quick and figure out the setup, gearing and things like that. As a driver you have to figure out what way the track likes to be raced. That is one thing I’ve learned is to adapt quicker than I used to. It also helps being in different parts of the country with the different conditions and altitudes.”
White ventured to Gillette Thunder Speedway in Gillette, Wyo., a week ago Wednesday for a Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour presented by SawBlade.com show. She advanced from sixth to fifth place in a heat race, which lined her up 14th for the main event. Following a delay for rain, White maneuvered to an 11th-place finish on the heavy track.
“It was the luck of the draw in the heat race and it didn’t go in our favor,” she said. “I didn’t get a good start in the A Main. It singled out and then I got lapped so that didn’t help at all. When you’re down a lap you don’t want to get in the way of the leaders battling for a win so you race a little different.”
White took last weekend off before invading Brown County Speedway on Monday with the ASCS National Tour.
“It was really cool,” she said. “It was a unique little bullring. It was cool to go up there and I enjoyed adding another new track to my list.”
White finished where she started – fourth – in a heat race before capping the night with a 10th-place result in the A Main. It marked her seventh top 10 during ASCS National Tour competition this season.
She is scheduled to resume competition this Saturday at Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, where she will race the next couple of weekends before the 360 Knoxville Nationals Aug. 2-4.
“I’m going to focus on time trials since we don’t do that often,” she said. “That’s a key thing at Knoxville. After that we’ll focus on getting through the heat and racing cars. The air is a big deal. We don’t get to see that very often so it has a big effect on how your car handles at Knoxville. These next couple of weeks will be important to give us momentum going into the 360 Knoxville Nationals.”
