Official Report

After the weekend, Derrike told us, "This past weekend proved to be a bit of a struggle for us. We had some difficulties with the coil bind set up throughout practice and really never got comfortable with what we had. It snowed on Saturday morning which cancelled qualifying so we started 38th by points. We only had one set of tires that we ran practice with and then in the race as well."
