Official Report

Derrike said, "We could never really find the speed necessary in the Nationwide series car for Rick Ware Racing #41. We failed to qualify for the Nationwide race. I will be back in the #41 Nationwide series car for Rick Ware in California and Las Vegas. We hope to rebound out there and get things headed in the right direction."
