Well if that is the case, how come you are entitled to share with us your little nuggets of wisdom. Last time I checked, this was a forum, and if I want to say someone stinks, I will Thankyou. I guess us low lives are not qualified to congratulate anyone on a good job either.
No problem I really wanted him to do good and he had a great starting position and he really deserves a chance and that is why I was upset about what happened. I usually don't watch the truck races but I want to see him maybe lead a lap and have a good finish. He will get another chance and yes I'm proud of him. Way to go J.R.
i apoligize evan bad mood this morning ............i agree jr could of had a great night
Well I'm not sure what happened since I watched the race and saw the incident in question. And at the beginning of the discussion of the race they said Hornaday admitted to messing up, then at the end in his interview he attempted to blame Kyle for it then he back tracked and said it was his own fault. Either way Ron messed up as they said on Sirius today they hadn't even made it a mile in a 150 mile race. So yes he could have pushed to lead the first lap but then again that didn't work out for him very well. Instead he could have let Kyle lead that first lap and then make his move once he got a good feel for the truck. He has been running the trucks for a number of years so he should know when he will be good to go.
I truly hope that JR continues to make a good showing in the states and hopefully back in Canada next year when he can. But I think we already have 1 Canadian making a great showing for all of Canada and that's DJ, who once again had a solid run in the Nationwide race tonight. JR is the future for Canadian drivers in the US but DJ helped make the big break through. Just my opinion of course. 😉
On a side note, I was going through some old and odd racing stuff the other day and found some CASCAR hero cards with JR and his dad in the purple Chips Ahoy cars. If JR makes it big in NASCAR, maybe I can get rich off these cards .lol
Hey Racenut, I've got that hero card as well, lol. 😉
JR still has his 1'st CASCAR Jr body up in their barn I believe, along with some other cars. They have the Florida SLM that they ran 2'nd to Kittleson with at New Smyrna as well. Perhaps the Fitzpatricks will have to set up a museum on their premises one day? 🙂
