Official Report

On the race front, Derrike shared the following regarding his run at Bristol. "In Saturday’s Busch race we were pleased with our qualifying effort. The car was snug in the race. We experienced radio problems throughout the race, causing me great difficulty hearing the spotter. As a result, I ran into the back of Johnny Benson. I hated that and tearing the car up for Jay.”
