The new Derrike Cope/Warren Johnson Cup team, Quest Motor Racing Team is progressing quickly, the Derrike Cope site reports. The new team expects to move into their facility located in Huntersville, NC within the next three weeks and by the end of June it is anticipated that they will have the facility ready to showcase and be operational. The team has two cars and four more cars on order. When fully operational, the focus will be on testing, getting cars ready to race and have their engine development program up and running. Cope and Johnson have been talking with representatives from both Chevrolet and Pontiac and expect to make a decision within the next two weeks. The car number has been selected and will be announced sometime next week. The team and Cope plans to run at least five races this year. That will permit the team to take advantage of seven test sessions instead of the two test sessions that NASCAR grants to new teams. The team is actively seeking sponsorship for these five races and for the 2001 season(Derrike Cope Official Site)(5-31-2000)
