J. R. Patton (born September 12, 1983 in Las Cruces, New Mexico) is an American stock car racing driver. He has competed in NASCAR competition in the Featherlite Southwest Tour and the Craftsman Truck Series.
Career
Educated at New Mexico State University, where he majored in business marketing, and a member of the Zia people,[1] Patton won the Rookie of the Year award in 2003 in the NASCAR Featherlite Southwest Tour.[2]
Patton made seven starts late in the 2004 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series season for Fiddleback Racing.[3] He was the first Native American to compete in the series.[1] In his debut, Patton ran a second Fiddleback truck (#66) to a fifteenth-place finish at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Patton drove for the rest of 2004, but the 15th at Vegas would prove to be Patton's best. He also finished all but one of his starts.[4]
In 2006, MB Motorsports announced Patton would take over its #63 Ford entry for a limited schedule, running for Rookie of the Year. Despite four attempts, Patton missed every race he tried to make.
