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.
