Derrike will be at the wheel of the #28 Ford car for Jay Robinson Racing in New Hampshire.

In the first practice, Derrike was 42nd fastest with a time of 31.004 and speed of 122.849. In the second practice, he picked up the time and was 41st fastest with a time of 30.429 and speed of 125.170.

In Qualifying, Derrike produced his fastest lap of 30.658 with speed of 124.235. This was not fast enough to make the race as he was the 44th fastest driver.

Derrike provided us an update for this weekend. "By now you know that I had a poor weekend when it comes to making the race at Loudon. The Busch car was very loose in qualifying. I really did not expect the car to not have any grip, thus I just could not touch the throttle without the car coming around on me."
