In 2009, Fitzgerald would make his ARCA Re/Max Series debut at Daytona driving the No. 06 Ford for Wayne Peterson Racing, where he would avoid numerous accidents to finish thirteenth in his first race in the series.[2] He would fail to qualify for the next race at Salem Speedway and would remain with the team for the remainder of the schedule primarily in the No. 06 entry. He would go on to finish sixteenth in the final points standings. He would return to the team for Daytona the following year, where he would start 39th with a provisional, and would suffer an accident on lap 58 where his car turn sideways coming into the backstretch and would roll over six times before coming to rest on its wheels; he would classified in 29th.[3][4] He would attempt two more races with the team that year, finishing 33rd at Texas Motor Speedway due to handling issues and failing to qualify for the first Pocono Raceway event. in the following year, he would once again run Daytona for Wayne Peterson, this time finishing 41st due to an oil leak. He would run the next race at Talladega Superspeedway driving the No. 14 Ford for Andy Belmont Racing, where he would finish 22nd. He would return with Belmont for Chicagoland Speedway, where he would finish 29th due to engine issues.

After not competing in the series in 2012, Fitzgerald would form his own team, Promotion Associates, and would enter in two races in 2013, withdrawing from Daytona in the No. 27 Ford, and finishing 18th at Talladega in the No. 94. He would return with his team for Daytona and Talladega the following year, this time in the No. 0, where he would finish 19th and 27th respectively. It was also during this year that he would reunite with Wayne Peterson Racing in the No. 06 at Berlin Raceway, where he would finish 21st due to handling issues. In 2015, Fitzgerald would once again race with his team at Daytona in the No. 00 Ford, where he would finish 28th, and would also run with Peterson at Talladega in the No. 0 Ford, where he would finish 27th. He has not raced in the series since then.
