Great job by J.R. Fitzpatrick finishing 4th tonight only to be beaten by Todd Bodine 2nd Kyle Busch 3rd Terry Cook and finishing ahead of Truck series vetern Ron Hornaday.Congrats JR you made Canadadian Stock Car drivers and Canadian track owners very proud and you have put your name on the map also to becoming a very sucessful truck (NASCAR) Series driver.

We had a bit of a "live blog" going on in the other JR qualified 14th thread.

Thanks for pointing me there.

Nice also to see him finish one up on Hornaday after the unfortunate wreck in the truck event last year where Busch and Hornaday got into it early and JR got caught up in the aftermath.

I think he gave the sponsors a lot of great air time as they were mentioning him all the time.

Man did he dodge that wreck and kick up some dust.

I love how the guys on speed say he was the Canadian champion. In what beach volley ball? Did they every say CASCAR Champion or Nascar Canadian Tire series Champion tonight? (As when people talk about past champions they seem to forget other sponsored NASCAR before Sprint did)

I actually thought it was going to be another one of those nights when they called him the CASCAR champion and that the biggest track he had raced on in Canada was 1/4 mile. Yes they actually said that.   ::)  Later in the broadcast when JR was staying up front and then leading someone must have done a google serch and found out some facts for them. They later said he was the NASCAR Canada Champion and even mentioned Cayuga Speedway.

Holy Crap!! That was some wicked racing!! What an AMAZING save!! They replayed that like 4 times!! If ONLY there were a few more laps!! He coulda won! Nice job either way!

Congrats J.R!! Can't wait to see you in more races!!

You ever thought of being a sports writer dude!  ;D Great recap.
