Patton made seven starts late in the 2004 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series season for Fiddleback Racing. 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.
