Pre-Race

Derrike said, "We were unable to attempt the race at Charlotte this past weekend to properly prepare the two trucks for Angela and Amber for the Martinsville Truck race. We have tested both girls with very positive results, thus we are all very excited for their debuts at Martinsville, which has never been done before...twins in the same race at the same time! Angela will be in the #01 and Amber in the #6. Both trucks will run under the Dodge banner.

"We continue to look for sponsorship for races in 2010 and 2011. It has been a difficult year in procuring the necessary funding to keep going, but if it was easy then everyone would be doing it. We stay committed to our efforts and look forward to realizing one our our goals for the year, and that was to showcase the twins ability, and it finally is close to happening. The practice and qualifying on Friday Oct 22nd, and the race is on Sat Oct, 23rd.. I will update you on Friday with our results."
