Personal History
From Stockcars to Motocross:
Whitney Poole Motorsports was started in 2001. Whitney Poole followed in her families footsteps to start her life long career in motorsports. Whitney began racing go karts at the age of 11 at Hobe Sound Speedway (asphalt) & St. Lucie Speedway (dirt). After over 300 victories and 5 championships in go karts Whitney moved up into a stockcar. In 2005 Whitney began practicing at Orlando Speedworld (OSW) in the Sportsman division. 2006 was a great learning experience for Whitney and in 2007 she landed a Championship in the Sportsman division at OSW. 2008 Whitney raced both the Sportsman Division at OSW and the Advance Auto Parts Touring Pro Trucks. 2009 Whitney retired from the sportsman division to move full time in the Pro Truck.

Riding Goals
Now, for 2013 I'm looking for a new challenge, this is where motocross comes in to play. I've got a bike that I'm having to get the motor back together so when that gets done the rest of 2013 will be practicing and getting ready for the new year. In 2014 I will race locally in Florida and see where motocross can take me.
