Red Bull DD driver, Whitt full-time to Turn One Racing:

Fresh off his first season in stock cars, Red Bull Racing Team development driver Cole Whitt is taking the next step in his NASCAR career. The 19-year-old will drive Turn One Racing full-time this season in the Camping World Truck Series. Whitt and Turn One Racing, owned by veteran NASCAR driver Stacy Compton, have a one-race head start on 2011. The 2008 USAC National Midget Series champion, Whitt spent 2010 in NASCAR’s K&N Pro Series East. In his first start, Whitt won the pole and finished third at Greenville-Pickens Speedway. He went on to finish fourth in points with two poles, six top fives and seven top 10s in only 10 races. Whitt takes over a truck that finished 14th in the 2010 owner points. Marcus Richmond returns as crew chief in 2011. (Red Bull Racing PR)(2-9-2011)
