Grafoid Sponsored NASCAR Driver Derek White First Native American to Make Sprint Cup Start

NASCAR driver Derek White, sponsored by Grafoid and Braille Battery, is set to become the first Native American to make the Sprint Cup Start. NBC Sport’s Nascar Talk spoke with White on the subject.
As quoted in the publication:

A member of the Mohawk tribe from Kahnawake, Quebec (near Montreal), White will be behind the wheel of the No. 33 Circle Sport Chevrolet SS when the green flag falls shortly after 1:30 pm ET.
While this will be his Cup debut, the 44-year-old White is no stranger to NASCAR. He’s made 16 Xfinity Series starts, including eight thus far this season, along with six Camping World Truck Series starts, as well.

White was quoted as saying in a media release:

I have always wanted to associate with the best, and I know that Circle Sport team principals Joe Falk and Mike Hillman have exactly what I am looking for at this stage in Sprint Cup – great equipment and team personnel and the right experience and attitude to help me make the most of this opportunity. I love to compete against the best, and racing in the Sprint Cup Series has been a goal of mine right from the start of my racing career.
