Official Report

Derrike gave an update by saying, "I qualified the #49 and then swapped seats with Shane Hall who qualified the #4 and attempted to race the #4. We immediately had problems with the battery and had to go to the pits to replace it. We made a few adjustments to the car because it would not turn. They only ran about 4 to 6 laps before Shane qualified the car so it did not have the right setup to race, so we opted to park it for the night."
