NASCAR mourned the passing of Rex White, a Hall of Famer and 1960 Cup Series champion, who passed away at the age of 95. White raced in 233 Cup races over a span of nine years from 1956 to 1964.

The NASCAR legend carried an average finish position of 9th, finishing in the top five in 110 races and winning a total of 28 races. White was also famous for being one of the first Chevrolet drivers in NASCAR.

NASCAR also hosted a Convertible Series, in which White scored a victory in 1959. He was also named one of the 50 best drivers in the sport’s history in 1998. In 2015, White became a part of the NASCAR Hall of Fame.

NASCAR CEO Jim France acknowledged White’s contributions to the sport. He said in a statement posted on X:

“We mourn the loss of NASCAR Champion and Hall of Famer, Rex White. Rex epitomized the formative days of NASCAR — a true pioneer whose contributions helped shape the foundation of our sport. His hard work, dedication, and talent allowed him to make a living doing what he loved most — racing cars.

“He was the model of consistency — finishing in the top five in nearly half of his races — and dominated the short tracks. On behalf of NASCAR and the France family, I want to offer our condolences to the friends and family of Rex White.”

Our thoughts are with White’s family at this difficult time.

NASCAR made another important announcement recently. The sport revealed a one-year pause on the Chicago street race, and as a result, the venue will not be on NASCAR’s 2026 calendar.

“It is reported that the City of Chicago wanted to move the dates from July. NASCAR admitted that it was working with city officials on a plan that “further optimizes operational efficiencies” for the street race’s return in 2027. It stated:

“Thank you for all you have done to make the NASCAR Chicago Street Race one of the most iconic events in global sports.

“Following the success of the first three years, the Chicago Street Race will hit pause in 2026 to afford us the time necessary to work collaboratively with the City of Chicago to explore a new potential date and to develop a plan that further optimizes operational efficiencies, with a goal to return to the streets of Chicago in 2027.

“Together, we have built and grown an expanded community of fans that consists of longtime NASCAR enthusiasts and first-time racegoers from around the globe, and for that, we are immensely grateful.

“Thank you for your continued support – and we look forward to seeing you at the races.”
