We at Whitney Racing wish Landon the best. We got to know Landon and his family when we ran the first year of the ASA Late Models. The family is a class act and Landon is a very hard working, deserving young man.

Landon and Joey Lagano are the future of Nascar, and I gotta say that I'm really looking forward to the future years. Some great up and coming talent for sure.
