Official Report

Derrike commented, "As for the Busch Series race, we ended up with a top 20 which in my opinion was a very good finish. We had practiced on used tires for happy hour and got the car too tight to start the race. But were able to make some adjustments, and I got the high side of the racetrack to work for me and we started to hold our own. So, it was a good day and hopefully we can find a little sponsorship for that car and start to run a few more races there as well. Wish us luck at Pocono...talk to you then."
