Pre-Race

Derrike will be bringing two cars to Memphis. Derrike said, "Kevin Lepage will be in the #78 and Chase Miller will be driving the #73 for us. We have stuggled here lately which has me a bit disturbed, but we will just have to work harder to rectify some of the mistakes that we have been making and try and become more productive."

In the first practice, Kevin was 29th fastest with a time of 23.487 and speed of 114.957. Chase was 34th fastest with a time of 23.581 and speed of 114.499.

In the second practice, Kevin was 36th fastest with a time of 23.665 and speed of 114.093. Chase was 31st fastest with a time of 23.535 and speed of 114.723.

In Qualifying, Kevin produced his fastest lap of 23.436 with speed of 115.207. This put the #78 car in 46th position which wasn't fast enough to make the race. Chase produced his fastest lap of 23.329 and speed of 115.736. This put the #73 car in 28th position where Chase will start the race.

Official Report

Derrike provided an update of this past weekend. He said, "The Nationwide effort continued to struggle on some level. Chase Miller did a good job getting the car into the race with the help of Kevin Lepage as well. The race did not go according to plan and we sustained some damage which was unfortunate, but you will have that in racing!"
