Derrike is entered in the Nationwide race in the #73 Asset Protect Dodge.
In the first practice, Derrike was 36th fastest with a time of 31.342 and
speed of 172.293. In the final practice, he was 35th fastest with a time of
30.776 and speed of 175.461.
In Qualifying, Derrike's fastest lap was 30.393 with a speed of 177.673.
Unfortunately this put him in 46th position which was not enough to make the
race.

Derrike gave an update by saying, "Obviously I am disappointed with Las Vegas
and the start to the season. Weather has played a role as well as just not
making some good choices. I am currently looking deep into our whole program to
see what changes need to be made to better insure success for the team and our
sponsors. We certainly run well at certain race tracks but are less proficient
at others. Funding is still at a premium and we are certainly lacking in that
department, but hopefully we can move in a positive direction in that area as
time goes on."
