Pre-Race

Derrike will be bringing two cars to Bristol. He said, "We are headed for Bristol this weekend. I will be in the #73 flipNbags/EZPCbackup.com Dodge and Kevin Lepage will be in the #78 car. I am hopeful that we can be more productive than we have been as of late. We continue to struggle with one of the cars on the larger racetracks with it be extremely loose. This weekend is a short track and that car has responded well so we are looking forward to getting started Friday morning. Hopefully the weather does not crimp our style."
