We in NASCAR Nation welcome a Canadian to Cup.
Quote:
A pole position and a second place finish have earned Patrick Carpentier a shot at a Nextel Cup ride, at least for one race.
The former Champ Car racer and Canadian native will make his NASCAR Nextel Cup debut at Watkins Glen this weekend in place of driver Scott Riggs. Carpentier finished second on his Busch Series debut last weekend at Montreal, after starting from the pole. He will also make his second Busch Series start this weekend.
