Jody was a racecar superstar. He raced on 27 race tracks covering three states. He won the championship at Screven Race Track and NVRA in 2006. He was so proud of that 6 foot tall trophy. Jody drove for his dad, Jimmy, his best friend, in a modified 1965. He was a staunch Ford man. Racing was his second love, his children and his family were his first. He would help anyone at any time. His best man and trusted friend, who was Larry Robb. His passing will leave a huge hole for his family, friends and racing community.

His ex-wife, Christy Ondriezek Whited, and mother of their daughter, Austin Christine Whited.
