Official Report

Derrike said this about the race, "Bristol went very well for us although we were not in a position financially to race very long. The car was very productive. We were good right off the truck, a little tight, but Rick was able to find what I was looking for and we were pretty quick on used tires. We never did a mock run for qualifying and when it came time we were again a bit conservative with the changing weather conditions, and thus tightened the car up a bit too much and qualified 22nd. In my opinion we were capable of a top 15 if we were in a position to be more aggressive."
