I live in Ft. Pierce, FL and have just returned from
a special trip to the Daytona Speedway the day before the 500, which the sole purpose was
to visit the SKITTLES® souvenir trailer. I have an extensive
collection of Derrike Cope items in a display case in my home and was very excited when I
learned that there would be items available this year. Editors note: You can click on the
picture for a bigger version.Needless
to say, I couldn't get to the trailer fast enough when I saw the #36 flags blowing in the
wind on top of the trailer. It was even difficult to decide which shirt or hat to pick up
and what other items I would get this time, or wait until I go to the Pepsi 400 in July to
purchase other items. I even used my Derrike Cope charge card to complete the purchase.
I am sure Derrike
will have a great year and I am behind him l00%.
At the Pepsi 400 this
year (1997), I was finally able to
meet Derrike. It was a lot of fun being able to walk around the garage area and look at
the drivers close-up.
P.S. I am using my son Bob's computer. |
