JR Fitzpatrick Makes Quick Work of the Peterborough Speedway Outlaw Super Late Model Field
Sunday - July - 2025
By Jim Clarke, Clarke Motorsports Communications/First Draft Media
A hot summer night welcomed the Ontario Outlaw Super Late Model Series to Central Ontario – Saturday, July 12th – for the group’s annual date at Peterborough Speedway.
With 50 laps of ground pounding action to settle the score, former Peterborough race winner Brandon Passer and Dwayne Baker paced the starting field to the green flag. As quickly as things got rolling, the pace was slowed for a yellow flag incident that saw the No. 27 machine of Roy Passer make contact with the 3rd turn wall. The driver was unhurt, but the car retired from the event after only 7 laps.
After starting 4th in the order, defending race champion JR Fitzpatrick took the lead on the restart and set off to dominate the show. With Brandon Passer, Baker, Brad Pearsall and TJ Edwards in tow, the driver of the No. 84 machine started to put backmarkers a lap down with only 10 circuits on the scoreboard. Fitzpatrick had built-up as much as a 10-car advantage before the halfway point of the headliner.
With the race running without any additional caution flags, all eyes were on the dominating performance being turned in by the reigning series champion. As he had done a year earlier, Fitzpatrick worked through slower traffic to perfection and was closing on the 6th place car as the crossed flags signaling the halfway mark were displayed.
One by one, the rest of the field watched as the leader put them a lap in arrears. By the close of business, he had put everyone but the 2nd and 3rd place runners of Brandon Passer and Dwayne Baker in his rear-view mirror. Pearsall, Edwards, Dario Caprichio, Brad Stevenson, Rob Bickle, John Baker Jr. and Roy Passer completed the running order.
