Derrike Cope’s site quotes Cope as saying that “Quest Motor Racing [was to run #37 a few years back] is working together with S.W.A.T. Racing [was the #62 Larry Hollenbeck Team] to take a Nextel Cup car and a Busch Series car to the Daytona tests in the coming weeks. We are currently searching for sponsorship for these events but are planning to field a pair of Chevrolets at Daytona. I am really excited about the Cup car we have and look forward to getting started. Hopefully we can provide more information to you with regard to the number we will be running and sponsorship shortly.”(Derrikecope.com)(1-8-2005)
UPDATE: Derrike Cope and Larry Hollenbeck put forth a great team effort at the Daytona tests. Larry piloted his #62 Busch Series SWAT Racing Chevy to an 11th place finish over all, and Derrike Cope piloted his #55 Chevy at the cup test 38th over all. The team is preparing to debut at the Daytona 150, the Hershey Kiss 300 and the Daytona 500 race. The team will, for now, operate under SWAT Racing with Derrike and Larry at the helm and sharing driving duties. The team is planning to run the cup full season and a few Busch races. This one week old team is looking for full sponsorship for the season.(S.W.A.T. Racing PR))(1-26-2005)
