Derrike started the race in 24th position and finished in 43rd position.

We talked with Derrike earlier today regarding last week's outing at Bristol. "We had a strong qualifying effort at Bristol. We are particularly pleased as we were running a car that was not designed for that type of track. The team did an exceptional job to make the necessary adjustments to the car. Our motor was good and had strong acceleration. The car handled well in the qualifying run and obviously was quick. We had some productive practices and concentrated on runs using old tires to adjust the handling for race conditions. That meant somewhat slower times in practice.

"We were quick from the start in Sunday’s race. I was able to get right to the bottom of the track and stay there. Clearly we had made the right handling adjustments to the car. However, early on I noticed that the car was running hot. Evidently a fitting on the block broke which let the water out. The rest is history."

Looking ahead Derrike shared, "For a small group, we are doing an excellent job. I am proud of our organization and our team spirit. I am excited with our prospects. Within a week we will have three down force cars completed and ready for testing. In addition our fourth down force car is being assembled. As of now we are planning to run the upcoming races at Martinsville and California."
