No Texas November 5, 2009 -
Derrike was to originally drive the #08 car for Carto-Simo Racing in Texas but
they withdrew the car, so Derrike will not be racing this weekend.
Weekend Update October 28, 2009 -
Derrike provided an update of this past weekend. He said, "Regarding
Martinsville, it felt good to be back at the Cup level. We were not as good as I
had hoped in qualifying but the car was productive at the start of the race, but
obviously with no sponsorship it became a short effort. I still learned some
things that I believe will help me with my own effort.
"The Nationwide effort continued to struggle on some level. Chase Miller did a
good job getting the car into the race with the help of Kevin Lepage as well.
The race did not go according to plan and we sustained some damage which was
unfortunate, but you will have that in racing!"
This Weekend October 25, 2009 -
Derrike finished the Sprint Cup race in 42nd position. In Nationwide, Chase
Miller finished the race in 39th position.
Kevin Lepage was not fast enough to make the race but Chase Miller got in the
race and will start the #73 Dodge in 28th position.
Prior, he gave us an update for the weekend. He said, "The plans for this
weekend are as follows. I will be driving the #64 Sprint Cup car for Larry
Gunselman at Martinsville, VA. I withdrew the #75 car because it looks like rain
is eminent for Friday and the opportunity for me to drive was available."

"Additionally, we will have both Nationwide Series cars in Memphis. Kevin
Lepage will be in the #78 and Chase Miller will be driving the #73 for us. We
have stuggled here lately which has me a bit disturbed, but we will just have to
work harder to rectify some of the mistakes that we have been making and try and
become more productive." Kroger on Track for the

C2P Suspension Technology March 1, 2007
- There was an
article about C2P Suspension Technology so Derrike was asked about the
company. "C2P is a brand of shocks that I sell worldwide," Derrike said. "It was
developed after 2QWIK with improvements, some new variations, and processes that
made it much more competitively priced. We produce shocks for motorcycles, ATV,
stock cars, dirt cars, midgets, sprint cars, modified cars, snowmobiles, road
bikes, some road cars, and specialty cars such as Lotus Elise, Viper, Evo, Miata,
Corvette, Lambourgini, Ferrari, etc. The C2P brand is not approved for the three
top series of NASCAR. It is approved for ARCA and many other series across the
United States for the grass roots local racing series. As for 2QWIK, it was a
shock line that I started with. It was very nice utilizing the finest materials
and was very high priced. It was sold through an exclusive distributor, which
did not work out, so it was discontinued."
