Derrike Cope Racing (formerly known as Creation-Cope Racing, CFK Motorsports, Stratus Racing Group, Cope/Keller Racing and Derrike Cope, Inc) is a raceteam that fields a NASCAR Xfinity Series team for co-owner/driver Derrike Cope. Gary Keller, Dale Clemons, and crew chief Dave Fuge also have a stake in the team. The team began fielding cars in the Sprint Cup Series in 2007 with little success. They have attempted some races in 2009 with Cope driving each time with sponsorship from FlipNBags.com and Blu Frog Energy. The team has yet to make a Cup race despite their efforts. The team currently fields the No. 70 Chevrolet Camaro in the Xfinity Series for Cope. ==Organizational changes== The team originally opened as Quest Motor Racing in 2001. Cope was the teams driver. During the 2003 Winston Cup season, the 37 Chevrolet attempted all 36 races, but only made half. The team was sponsored by Friendly's Ice Cream. The team made two attempts in 2008, rebranded as Cope/Keller Racing, DNQ'ing in both. The team returned part time in 2009 with sponsorship from Blu Frog Energy and Flip'n Bags.com. On December 14, 2009, Cope and Keller partnered with Dale Clemons to form Stratus Racing Group in the ARCA, Nationwide, Truck, and Cup Series. The team will field cars in all levels in 2010 including two ARCA teams and Nationwide and Truck teams. The Sprint Cup effort will be part-time in 2010 but it will increase in 2011. In the Truck Series, Cope and nieces Angela and Amber Cope will run limited schedules. The sisters made their first starts in 2010 in the Truck Series at Martinsville. Angela ran the #01 Odyssey Batteries Dodge Ram and Amber in the #6 Dodge Ram with the same sponsors. Angela finished 30th and Amber 26th. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Derrike Cope Racing」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
