Career edit
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] In his debut, Patton ran a second Fiddleback truck, the No. 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 drive their No. 63 Ford for a limited schedule, running for Rookie of the Year. Despite four attempts, Patton missed every race he tried to make.
