2006 CASCAR Champion Headed To Busch In 2007


From the Cup Scene Daily:


Canadian J.R. Fitzpatrick, the 2006 CASCAR Super Series champion, will jump to the NASCAR Busch Series for at least three races in 2007; his longtime crew chief told Sun Media yesterday.

The 18-year old became the youngest driver in history to win Canada's top stock car racing series crown on the final race for CASCAR -- the series will become the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series in 2007 -- Sept. 18 at Kawartha Speedway.

But the Fitzpatrick Motorsports team has its sights set on the Busch series for J.R., particularly the inaugural race at Montreal's Circuit Gilles Villeneuve July 22.

"John Fitzpatrick (J.R.'s dad) and I were down in North Carolina a few weeks ago and we made a deal for a Busch car," Don Thomson Jr., a five-time CASCAR champion and Fitzpatrick Motorsports crew chief, said yesterday.

"I have a pretty good idea -- although I can't announce it officially -- that we'll be in Montreal and we are also looking at Watkins Glen."
