why is J.R not in the truck this weekend at Kansas? he did not qualify or practice? who is Frank Deniery Jr? or whatever his name is? I though J.R was going to run full time?

"TRG Motorsports to run reduced schedule: TRG Motorsports officials have announced that its NASCAR Camping World Truck Series team will run a reduced schedule with driver J.R. Fitzpatrick the rest of the season. Fitzpatrick, of Cambridge, Canada, finished fourth in the Truck series season opener at Daytona and was 17th in points after the first four races. "The economy has hindered our program, and unless we can get funding to run the whole season, I will be doing a handful of races for the remainder of the year," Fitzpatrick said. "We had an excellent start at Daytona and really opened some eyes in the series. We have a lot of great things in the works, and I will be back soon. We are just being more selective of which markets we race in. I am only 20 years old and plan on being in NASCAR for a very long time, so as much as I would like to be at the track every week, it has to make sense for everybody involved." TRG Motorsports team principal Kevin Buckler said Fitzpatrick or another driver would return.(SceneDaily.com)(4-16-2009)"
This new guy running the truck kinda disputes some of what it says above but as what was said in another thread it is probably a start and park deal that JR probably wouldn't want to be a part of IMO.
JR was practising the 33 truck at Delaware so he may be running some races there. The roster shows the 33 truck but no driver. He is also listed as full time in NCaTS.
