UPDATE 3: SS Racing/Greenlight Racing and regular driver Jason White split up for the first of two races. White has been the regular driver of the #08 Dodge all season, but will drive the #15 Billy Ballew Motorsports Toyota at New Hampshire and Oct. 18 at Martinsville, Va. SS/Greenlight is considering a manufacturer change next season and wants White to check out a Toyota. The #08 already was operating this season without factory funding, but owner Bobby Dotter is still exploring all options. “If we’re by ourselves and don’t have any of that support [with other teams driving Dodges], it could be a downside,” Dotter said. “But if we don’t see a decisive advantage in another manufacturer, we’re very much interested in sticking with Dodge. If we’re trying to do it on somewhat of a limited budget, Dodge may be perfect.” White’s sponsor, Gunbroker.com, will be on the #15, but the #08 will also be on the track with the same sponsor. Dotter will drive it, making his first start since Las Vegas last season.(ESPN.com)(9-12-2008)
