Derek White (born December 9, 1970) is a Canadian professional driver. He last competed part-time in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, driving the No. 13 Toyota Camry and No. 40 Dodge Challenger as an owner/driver for MBM Motorsports.
In 2016, White was arrested and charged in March 2016 for smuggling tobacco from the United States into Canada. He was eventually suspended by NASCAR.
White spent 30 years drag racing in Canada, before deciding to switch to stock car racing in 2009. That year, he ran five races in the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series, with a best finish of 11th in his series debut at Autodrome Saint-Eustache. The following year, he ran eleven of thirteen races, recording a top ten at the season-opener at Delaware Speedway. At the end of the year, he was named Rookie of the Year.
In 2014, White made a start in the American Canadian Tour, competing in the season-ending race at Airborne Speedway; he finished 22nd after starting 33rd.
In 2009, White made his Camping World Truck Series debut for Mario Gosselin at Martinsville Speedway, finishing 23rd after starting 34th.
In 2012, White was hired by SR2 Motorsports to run as a road course ringer for the Nationwide Series race at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. In the No. 24, he finished a career-high 18th. Before the 2014 Drive to Stop Diabetes 300 at Bristol Motor Speedway, White formed Motorsports Business Management with driver Carl Long as principal. The team made its racing debut as MBM Motorsports at the race with Matt Carter as driver of the No. 13. For six more races in 2014, White fielded rides for himself, Long and Mike Wallace, failing to qualify for four and not finishing all six races they had qualified.
