"Ron Fellows is the first to admit that his two NASCAR starts this year may be his last chance to add an elusive Sprint Cup victory to his career tally.
While the 53-year-old from Mississauga, Ont., “isn’t getting any younger,” Fellows feels confident he has a car that can match the top teams this time around, something that should put a win in NASCAR’s top tier within his reach in Sunday’s Toyota/Save Mart 350 at California’s Sonoma Raceway.
“I feel like it’s a pretty good opportunity and one that I haven’t had for a few years in Sprint Cup,” he said.
“I don’t know how many more of these opportunities I am going to have. This might be it, who knows? To be honest, I have stopped thinking about a win – if it’s to be, it will be and, if not, what do you do? It would obviously be a fantastic thing; it’s the one missing piece in my career.”
In his career, Fellows has won his class in the 24 Hours of Le Mans twice, in the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona, and twice in the 12 Hours of Sebring. He also scored three class championships in the American Le Mans Series (ALMS), along with victories in NASCAR’s Camping World Truck and Nationwide Series. Always a fan favourite, he was voted most popular driver in ALMS several times."

On Sunday, Fellows started from the 25th position and finished 22nd.

He has a better chance, than old "Front Row" Joe Nemechek. I'd like to see him get a win, too.
Joe was a Michigan resident, for awhile. (I think. His mother or grandmother is buried here.)
Every race, I watch for where Joe finishes. It is usually way in the back and he still gets sponsors.
