Official Report

After the race, Derrike said, "It was not a bad weekend for us. We only had one set of tires to practice, qualify, and race on, so we did pretty well in my opinion. We worked hard on the coil bind setup and we are still off some there. I was unable to get the car to travel the right amount. It may have been shock related. I will go through all the shocks that I have and try and have a better combination for Richmond in a few weeks. When we started the race in Phoenix we were already spotting them quite a few laps on tires but managed to stay with them for a while. It was an enjoyable weekend and we will look ahead."
