Jason White, a long-time competitor in the NASCAR FedEx Freight Truck Series and ARCA Menards Series, has been acclaimed as the Mayor of Sun Peaks Mountain Resort Municipality in British Columbia, his hometown, as part of the town’s most-recent General Election on October 17.

The 53-year-old ran for the position uncontested, and was sworn in on Tuesday, November 3, just one day after returning home from Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama, where he finished a solid 13th-place in the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series event at the 2.66-mile superspeedway, piloting the No. 2 Ford F-150 for Team Reaume.

White has more than two decades of experience driving race cars, competing in the NASCAR Canada Series and CASCAR Super Series (and Super Series West) from 2004 to 2020, and running several NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series and ARCA Menards Series events in the United States since 2018.

In 17 NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series starts, the majority of which have come on the superspeedways of Daytona and Talladega, White has a pair of top-10 results – a 10th at Daytona in February 2020 and an eighth-place finish at Daytona in February 2025.

The new Mayor of Sun Peaks, British Columbia also has seven starts in the ARCA Menards Series, which includes three top-10 finishes – a sixth at Daytona in February 2020, a ninth at Daytona in February 2023, and a tenth at Talladega in April 2023.

Whether this impacts White’s future as a NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series part-timer is unknown.
