Derrike will be piloting the #37 Friendly's Ice Cream Chevrolet at the Rock.

In the first practice, Derrike was 43rd fastest with a time of 24.628 and speed of 148.660.

Derrike took the track as the 22nd car for qualifying. On his first lap he produced a time of 24.220 and speed of 151.16. The second lap was quicker with a time of 24.196 and speed of 151.91. This put the Friendly's Chevrolet in the race at 43rd position.

Derrike started the race in 43rd position, and finished in 43rd. At lap 34, Derrike took the car to the garage for some reason. It was announced later that the car was out of the race for a clutch problem.

After the race, Derrike said, "We had some disappointment at Rockingham this past week. Unfortunately due to the rain, we had very limited practice time. Although we made a lot gains with the car from a technical standpoint, we fell short by about 2/10 of a second which is about 2 car lengths. Then coming out of Pit Row, the clutch was squealing and we decided to pull the car off the track.

"We're looking at the races in the beginning of the season as test sessions. Each race brings us a little closer to perfecting the car and solidifying our team."
