J.R.  was the 1989 track champion at Plymouth Speedway and the 1990 titlist at New Paris Speedway and then moved to the Midwest Series. He has one career victory which came at I-44 Speedway in Lebannon, MO coming on June of 1996. In 1997, J.R. Finished in the top three on three occasions in select appearances in the Sunoco Super Series. In 2000, he returned to the series at his home track at Plymouth and finished in the third position. In 2001, he raced a partial schedule, competing in nine events, posting six top-five finishes, eight top-tens and one pole. J.R. also competed in the All Pro and Midwest series. In 2002, Roahrig collected two victories at Angola and Baer Field and placed sixth in the final standings.

THIS driver has finished 6th in the final point standings in four of the last seven years. And although the points may not reflect it, everyone else considers them a legitimate top 5 team when they take to the track. During 2006 he competed in every point and non points event, he recorded 1 fast time, 5 top 5 qualifying efforts, take 6 top 5’s and 8 top tens and finished 4th overall in laps completed. After hard crashes that hurt his car in 2007 he was forced to miss several races.  In 2008 Roahrig also was forced to miss races after hard crashes destroyed his car and he needed time to rebuild it. 

2009 was a different year for Roahrig as he stepped back from running full time to be crew chief for his son Tyler.  He ran a limited schedule but still finished in the Top 15 in points with 2 Top 5 finishes and 4 Top 10's.
