Charleston, WV – August 18, 2025 — Josh White Racing is proud to announce that Josh White will return to the dirt at the DuQuoin State Fairgrounds in the No. 86 machine in the ARCA Menards Series, where all 100 laps will be run in honor and remembrance of veterans lost to suicide.
This powerful tribute underscores Josh’s mission to use motorsports as a platform to raise awareness and fight for the lives of America’s heroes.
The race will be White’s second ARCA start of 2025 for the Clubb Racing Inc. team.
The Marine Corps League will serve as the Primary Sponsor for this special event, standing alongside Josh and the team in honoring the sacrifices of those who served. Healing The Hero joins as Secondary Sponsor, with additional support from
Catastrophic Industries, Devildog Canine, Frontline to Field Foundation , and Collins Diecast. In a deeply moving gesture, Healing The Hero, in conjunction with Josh White Racing, will publish “100 Names for 100 Laps” — a solemn tribute listing 100 veterans lost to suicide, with each lap of the race dedicated to their memory.
Josh emphasized the meaning of this tribute.
“Healing The Hero and I are creating a flyer that contains a name for each lap at DuQuoin, 100 laps, 100 names,” White said. “The names represent a Veteran that lost their life to suicide. Every name, was a life lost, there was a person behind the name, a grieving family, and loss.”
Josh, a proud U.S. Marine Corps veteran, is also using this race as an important opportunity to shake off the rust ahead of his highly anticipated return at Bristol Motor Speedway on September 11, 2025. With DuQuoin’s demanding dirt surface, the race serves as the perfect preparation for the challenges of “The Last Great Colosseum.”
“This race at DuQuoin means more than just another chance to compete,” he said. “It’s a memorial, a tribute, and a statement that we will never forget those we’ve lost. Every lap we run is for the veterans who should still be here with us today.”
Fans and supporters are encouraged to join Josh White Racing at DuQuoin to stand in solidarity with the veteran community and help spread the message that no one fights alone.
