Pre-Race

In first round qualifying on Friday Derrike took the road course as the 26th of 45 drivers and posted a time of 1:15.796 and speed of 116.365. This was the slowest at the time. At the end of the round, the Gumout Pontiac stood in 43rd position.

The team ended up taking a provisional and Derrike will start the race in 42nd position.

Derrike started the race in 42nd position. This is where he was during the race:

  • 39th position - lap 9 of 90 (Derrike and Chad Little got together on the inner loop and both spun. Little continued on but apparently Derrike ran off the track as he was soon down a lap.)
  • 43rd - lap 11 (1 lap down. Shown passing Geoff Bodine and it didn't look like a lot of damage on the left side where he had touched Little.)
  • 41st - lap 24 (1 lap down)
  • lap 46 (Dale Jarrett and Derrike touched on the restart after a caution but no problem)
  • 41st lap 47 (2 laps down)
  • 39th - lap 52 (1st car 2 laps down)
  • 40th - lap 54
  • 40th - lap 75 (3 laps down)

Derrike finished the race in 39th position, 3 laps down.
