BOWMANVILLE, ON – Third-year CASCAR Super Series racer J.R. Fitzpatrick
captured his first career pole during qualifying at Mosport Int’l Raceway
on Saturday afternoon. The Milwaukee Tools Chevrolet Monte Carlo driver
will start Sunday’s Clarington 200 presented by Canadian Shield Anti Crime
Response Corporation alongside of his Fitzpatrick Motorsports teammate Don
Thomson, who posted the second-fastest lap.
Thomson is the defending winner of the Clarington 200. His victory
last June was the only win of his ‘Drive For Five’ season in which he was
successful in capturing his fifth consecutive CASCAR Super Series National
championship. Last year’s Mosport race was also notable for J.R.
Fitzpatrick. His third-place finish was the first-ever podium result for
the then-sophomore Super Series competitor.
Several other successful CASCAR road racers posted solid times
during qualifying on Saturday and will start near the front of the pack on
Sunday. Mt. Albert, ON resident Kerry Micks, who won last summer’s CASCAR
race at the Toronto Indy, will start third, alongside of former Mosport
road course race winner DJ Kennington, of St. Thomas, ON, in the Castrol
Dodge Charger.
Peter Gibbons (Canadian Tire Chevy), who has enjoyed considerable
success at Mosport over the years, will start fifth. Windsor, ON racer Ron
Beauchamp Jr. will line up on the outside of the third row on Sunday in his
MOPAR-powered Dodge Charger.
The 51-lap Clarington 200 is the first CASCAR road course event of
the season. The 32-car field is scheduled to take the green flag at 1:30
p.m. at the legendary 10-turn, 2.459-mile road course, located north of
Bowmanville, ON.
