Cope and the #49 to test at Kentucky: Derrike Cope will drive the #49 BAM Dodge at a test session scheduled for next week in Kentucky. Cope said I am getting around well and have been ambulating without the aid of a cane. I am going regularly for therapy and notice improvement every day. I am still somewhat sore however, but that is diminishing. If my physician gives me the OK, I plan on driving for the BAM team at the Atlanta race. Cope is holding off making a decision on future BGN starts while he continues to monitor his improvement.(Derrike Cope site)(10-11-2002)
