Official Report

Looking back on Friday's run at Darlington, Derrike summed it up this way, "We did the best we could with what we had. Overall, the car drove pretty well, but we just lacked power. We had one really bad set of tires and as a result had to pit early under green which cost us some laps. We will be taking the same car to Richmond for Friday night's race. Our goal is to get a decent finish and put some points on the board."
