Derrike will be at the wheel of the #28 Ford car for Jay Robinson Racing at the Milwaukee Mile. Beginning with Saturday's race, Derrike will be sponsored by Trans Global Waste Services. In announcing the sponsorship, Derrike commented, "We are really excited to have a company that is considered the best quality in its field join Jay Robinson Racing. We have a solid race team here with this #28 car and feel we can produce positive results both on and off the track for Trans Global Waste Services."

In the first practice, Derrike was 44th fastest with a time of 32.741 and speed of 109.954. In Happy Hour, he was 43rd fastest with a time of 31.684 with speed of 113.622.

In qualifying, Derrike produced a fastest lap of 30.911 with speed of 116.463. At the end of the round, this was fast enough for 43rd position.

Derrike started the race in 43rd position and finished the rain shortened race in 33rd position.

Derrike gave us this update about Milwaukee. "Well, it was a long day and night! As you saw we qualified 43rd. We has a great deal of problems with the race car just prior to the first practice session, which cost me the whole session. We still were late for the last session as well so we just never had a real shot at getting the car tuned in.

"Once the race started we were pretty tight and had to come in several times to try and free up the car. The crew from the #91 team were kind enough to pit our car and did a great job all night. We worked hard and finished 33rd. As for next week, as of now we will attempt to qualify at Daytona. We have been unable to qualify well at Daytona in the past, but we will have to pick up the pace to make the race, but we will do the best that we can."
