Toyota Atlantic years
editPatrick Carpentier started intoFormula Ford 2000 Canada,before moving up toPlayer's Toyota Atlantic Championshipin 1992. He joined Lynx Racing in1995,whereby he won his first-ever race for the team around the streets ofBicentennial Park (Miami).He won again on theNazareth Speedwayoval, however the remainder of the season was marked by a variety of mechanical problems.[1]
1996 was a whole different story. During the course of thePlayer's Toyota Atlantic Championship,he would shatter every record in the 25-year history of the championship, including nine wins out of 12 races – eight of them in a row, frompole position.He rewrote the record book for this series, setting a new record for the most consecutive wins(8), most wins in a season (9), also most consecutive wins from pole (8), most laps led in a season and most accumulated points in a season (239pts). This included a flag-to-flag victory at theGrand Prix Molson du Canadameeting.[1][2]After shatteringGilles Villeneuve's long standing records, his 1996 Atlantic season propelled him to the major league Indycar series.
IndyCar career
editAfter winning the 1996Player's Toyota Atlantic Championship,Carpentier won a ride withBettenhausen/Alumax teaminCART,defeating several veteran racers from across the US and Europe, in a test held atSebring.He debuted in CART in 1997 with Bettenhausen/Alumax team. In that first season, he was on pole at Nazareth, with a best finish was second at the inaugural race atGateway,theMotorola 300.He would also be crowned "Rookie of the Year".[1]
In 1998, he started driving forPlayer's Forsythe Racing,when the team expanded their operations to run a second alongside fellow Canadian,Greg Moore.At the end of the following season, with the unfortunate death of Moore, in season finale, theMarlboro 500atFontana,Carpentier became Forsythe's number one, when rookieAlex Taglianiwas brought into the squad, keeping it an all-Canadian affair. In his early years he was prone to missing races through injuries, some of which originated off-track.[1]
His first Champ Car victory came in 2001 in theHarrah's 500,at theMichigan International Speedway,and would finish tenth in the overall end of year standing. In what was the last CART sanctionedMichigan 500,he seized victory with a dramatic last-lap pass ofDario Franchitti.For Carpentier, this first CART win finally arrived in his 79th start. The following season, he would win twice,Marconi Grand Prix of Cleveland,andGrand Prix of Mid-Ohioand would take third in the championship standing. Carpentier was 5th overall in a disappointing 2003 season, despite winning theGrand Prix of Monterey,at theLaguna Seca(compared to title-winning teammatePaul Tracy).[1][3][4]
Tracy's performance weakened Carpentier's position within the team and rumours circulating pre-2004 season suggesting Carpentier would be dropped by Forsythe Racing, in favour ofRodolfo Lavin.Instead,Gerald Forsythedecided to run a third car for Lavin. Allegedly, Patrick kept his ride because of his marketing popularity in his homeland. He would repay Forsythe by retaining the Grand Prix of Monterey. Despite finishing higher than Paul Tracy in the 2004 championship, Carpentier left the team and the series for the 2005 season, joiningEddie Cheever'sCheever Racingin theIndyCar Series.Due to his excellent record on oval tracks he was expected to do well (most of the IndyCar Series races are on ovals which had become virtually extinct inChamp Car), but uncompetitiveToyotaengines prevented any major success. He ended 10th in the standings with two third places and 11 top 10s out of 17 races.[3][5]
The 2005 season would be Carpentier's last in open-wheel competition. In a 2016 interview, the Canadian acknowledged he had decided to retire after seeingRyan Briscoe's crash into the catchfence at the Chicagoland race; other major IRL crashes like the one suffered by Kenny Bräck in the 2003 finale at Texas also played a role in his decision.[6]In his nine years as a competitor in CART and IRL's IndyCar, Carpentier finished in the top 10 85 times, and stood on the podium 24 times.
Sports car career
editShortly after the end of his IndyCar career, Carpentier drove aCrawford-Lexus DP03for former Boss Eddie Cheever in the2006 Rolex 24 at Daytona.He then competed in the 2006CASCARSuper Series event atCayuga Speedway.Carpentier started 21st in theDave Jacobs Racingcar and finished sixth. From there he tried his hand atGrand-Am Road Racing,running a partial season withSAMAX Motorsportpiloting theirRiley Mk XI.
He re-signed for another season with SAMAX, to drive a Daytona Prototype in the 2007 Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series, alongside eitherMilka DunoorRyan Dalziel.The highlight of this partnership was their second place in theRolex 24 at Daytona.The trio also shared theirRiley-Pontiac Mk XIwith another British driver,Darren Manning.They finished on the same lap as the winner, just 75.845 seconds behind after 24 hours of racing, leading for 121 of the 668 laps. Carpentier last race for SAMAX was the 400 km Montreal, where he finished 10th, partnered byKris Szekeres,took place on August 3, 2007. He later left SAMAX to pursue a career in NASCAR, with his first race (theNAPA Auto Parts 200) the next day.[7][8]
Stock car career
editCarpentier made his debut in theNASCAR Busch Seriesat Montreal'sCircuit Gilles Villeneuveon August 4, 2007, taking pole in qualifying and finished the controversial race in 2nd place, behindKevin Harvick,whileRobby Gordonwas disqualified by NASCAR from his first place spot for intentionally wreckingMarcos Ambroseand ignoring a resulting penalty. Carpentier would return to Montreal to post another 2nd place in 2008. Carpentier made his NASCAR Nextel Cup debut on August 12, 2007, at Watkins Glen, in theGillett Evernham Motorsports#10Valvoline/Stanley Tools-sponsoredDodge,replacingScott Riggsand started 40th. Carpentier led for seven laps in the race near the midway portion of the race and wound up finishing in the 20th position. In October 2007, it was announced he would drive the #10 car full-time in 2008.[9][10][11]
On February 14, 2008, Carpentier attempted to qualify for the2008 Daytona 500in the second of twoGatorade Duels.Carpentier ran in the top 10 for most of the day. Late in the race, his right front tire blew, sending him into the backstretch wall. Carpentier was running in third place of the drivers not locked into the Daytona 500 based on owner points.
The Joliette driver had not seenNew Hampshire Motor Speedwaybefore visiting for track for the 2008Lenox Industrial Tools 301.On June 27, 2008, in just his 17th NASCAR race, he became only the second non-American driver to qualify on pole. He was the first by a foreign born in NASCAR's top division since Lloyd Shaw (fromToronto,Ontario, Canada) won the pole atLanghorne Speedwayin June 1953. Come race day, he didn't give up the lead easily as he led the first four laps. "That was a heck of a thrill," Carpentier said after the race. "Winning the pole on Friday was certainly a highlight of my career. But leading those laps was unbelievable. It's hard to put into words." He would later be hit by brakes problems and would finish down in 31st place.[12][13]
On July 5, 2008, Carpentier earned his best career Sprint Cup finish by finishing 14th in theCoke Zero 400.
On August 30, 2008, Carpentier announced that he would be a free agent for the2009 Sprint Cup Series,leaving Gillett Evernham Motorsports. Four days prior to Carpentier's announcement Gillett Evernham Motorsports had announced that they would hire driverReed Sorensonfor 2009 making Carpentier's future uncertain. On October 7, Carpentier was released by GEM. Former Team Red Bull driverA. J. Allmendingerfinished out the year.[14]
On June 9, 2009,Michael Waltrip Racingannounced that Carpentier would replace team owner,Michael Waltripin the No. 55NAPA-sponsoredToyotafor the two road course races on the 2009 Sprint Cup schedule:Infineonon June 21 andWatkins Glenon August 9.[15]Carpentier competed in a number of races forTommy Baldwin Racingin events that conflict with Mike Skinner's truck series schedule.
In 2010, Carpentier ran a number of races forLatitude 43 Motorsports.In 2011, Carpentier returned to his open-wheel roots, attempting to qualify for the95th Indianapolis 500forDragon Racingafter formerRed BulldriverScott Speedwas unable to get the car up to speed on bump day. Carpentier was unable to get the car in the race. On the stock car side, Carpentier drove a few Sprint Cup races forFrank Stoddard's team. On June 7, Carpentier announced to theToronto Sunthat he would officially retire from racing after theNAPA Auto Parts 200atCircuit Gilles Villeneuve,where he drove forPastrana-Waltrip Racing.
On April 22, 2016, Carpentier announced he would return to the Cup Series starting with theToyota/Save Mart 350at Sonoma, followed by also competing in theBrickyard 400at Indy forGo FAS Racing.[16][17]Piloting the No.32 Can-AmKappa,CyclopsFord FusionCarpentier was the onlyroad course ringerin the race at Sonoma. A promising day went wrong when Carpentier blew a tire while running 11th with less than 15 laps to go, resulting in a 37th-place finish. Carpentier would steal the headlines during practice for the2016 Brickyard 400when he got into an accident withKyle Busch.Carpentier would finish 34th in the race, his best finish of the season.
Retirement
editOn August 20, 2011, Carpentier announced his retirement shortly before the Nationwide race in Montreal. While running fourth, contact withSteven Wallacetook him out of the race and he left to a standing ovation from the crowd.[18]
Despite his retirement, Carpentier stated in January 2012 that he would be willing to compete in theMontreal Nationwide Series racein 2012, to raise money for children's charities.[19]After starting 13th, Carpentier finished 29th.[20]
In 2013, after spending time trying to avoid racing, Carpentier joined the French-language sports channel RDS, as a colour commentator for their NASCAR broadcasts. After retiring from full-time racing in 2008, Patrick said that he “tried other things but I need to be around racing. Everything has been very different since I stopped racing and I have been trying to come to grips with it.”Prior to this, Carpentier was in the home renovation business, buying and selling real estate inNevada,where he lived whilst an active racer. As the economic downturn hit theLas Vegasregion hard and real estate prices started to sag, this made life difficult for him. So when RDS offer came along, he took up their offer.[21][22]
When in August 2014, the inauguralWorld Rallycross Championshiphit the classic Canadian street venue,Circuit Trois-Rivières,the seventh round of the season. Carpentier was the chance to make his rallycross debut with the Volkswagen Marklund Motorsport outfit. Despite his lack of experience of Rallycross cars, he raced through the heats, qualifying for the Final. At the start of the final, Carpentier slotted hisVolkswagen Poloin fourth place behindTimur Timerzyanov.He was the first driver to take his joker lap, but spun at the end of the second lap, putting him out of contention for a podium finish. By lap four, much to the dismay of the crowd, Carpentier crashed out, leaving him classified sixth overall in the first everWorld RX of Canadaevent. The event was won byPetter Solberg,fromAnton Marklund.[23][24]Carpentier raced aJRM RacingMini Countrymanin the2015 World RX of Canada,this time finishing 14th overall and failing to reach the semi-finals.
Carpentier was inducted into theCanadian Motorsport Hall of Famein 2021.[25]
