Official Report

After the race Derrike said, "We only ran about seven laps in practice and qualified and race on used tires. The car had been quite loose in practice, but when it came time to race it was tight all day. We had a vibration all weekend as well which we could not find. We ran hard all day and missed all the wrecks, so I guess it was a successful outing. Next weekend we will be heading to Nashville for a stand-alone Nationwide race."
