NASCAR’s Derek White Targeted in North America’s Largest Tobacco Smuggling Bust

If you thought the days of professional racers moonlighting in the illicit transportation industry were over, boy were you wrong: Bloomberg reports that NASCAR Sprint Cup driver Derek White was named by Quebec and Ontario police as one of 60 people involved in the single largest tobacco-smuggling bust in North American history. Sheesh.
According to Canadian authorities, White is alleged to be one of the top-ranking members of a huge smuggling operation. The tightly controlled ring purchased shipments of tobacco leaf from North Carolina and spirited them into Canada without paying the necessary import taxes.
