J.R. Fitzpatrick Makes Second Start at Phoenix:  J.R. Fitzpatrick will make his second career start in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series on Friday night at Phoenix International Raceway.  Fitzpatrick’s first career start came in the Kroger 200 at Martinsville Speedway on October 18th where the young gun qualified 19th and finished 21st in his debut driving for DGM Racing in conjunction with TRG Motorsports.  “Well all I can say is I'm excited, and I think I am going to be more comfortable on the bigger track then I was at Martinsville,” he explained.  “I am going to go into the race with the same approach as I did my first race at Martinsville.   My goal was to stay out of trouble, stay out of the championship race, and get some laps and earn my license needed to move forward in NASCAR.”

 

TRG’s Truck Choice for Phoenix:  J.R. Fitzpatrick’s Crew Chief, Jon Wolfe, is taking chassis number 74 to Phoenix International Raceway for the Lucas Oil 150 on Friday night.  This truck has made three starts this year and is the same truck that Donny Lia won with at Mansfield Motorsports Park in May.  It was also raced by Lia at Martinsville Speedway in the Spring and Memphis Motorsports Park where it finished 9th and 26th respectively. 

 

J.R. Fitzpatrick to Run Season Finale with TRG:  J.R. Fitzpatrick will join TRG Motorsports for the second week in a row as the series descends on Homestead-Miami Speedway for the season finale next Friday night.  Fitzpatrick will pilot the No. 71 Mammoet Chevrolet as a teammate to T.J. Bell.  Fitzpatrick is attempting to gain the proper approvals from NASCAR to compete in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series full-time with TRG in 2009.

Awesome.  I was talking to JR earlier today.  He said the track was pretty tough to figure out.  Said he was pretty frustrated by only being 25th fastest in practice, but got some encouraging advice from Harvick. 

Hope the race goes well for him.  Nobody forget that this is just his second race in the CTS, and a top 25 would still be great for him - at this point.

Busch is such a dink and he should be off the track and I knew J.R. was going to be involved.

To bad for JR. Welcome to Nascar where Kyle cares about no one. Mickey keeps saying gave him all the room give me a break you have to be so aggressive on the first lap?

Kyle wasn't the aggressive one there....Ron shlda backed it down he is points racing! As for JR, nowhere to go..bummer, but he will get back out hopefully and at least log some stress-free laps.

Un-friggin-believable!.. Saw that coming too, but hornaday was the one who f'd up.  Hope he loses the championship because of that.. it'd look good on him!

This is disgusting.

Kyle is just a [ COC Violation ]. He had to be there on lap one? I just hate the guy he could careless about anyone else but himself. Maybe the guy will grow up one of these years. I'm so glad he did so bad in the chase.
