For 2004, Cope and team were to return with new sponsorship from Paramount Hospitality Management LLC (PHM).

The team also ran a partial Nationwide schedule, fielding cars for several drivers.

On December 14, 2009, Cope and Keller partnered with Dale Clemons to form Stratus Racing Group in the ARCA, Nationwide, Truck, and Cup Series.

Former drivers for this effort include Larry Gunselman, Kertus Davis, Jason White, and Johnny Sauter.

Stratus was sponsored by Connectyx Technologies Holdings Group Inc for the select Nationwide and Truck races in 2010.

Derrike Cope and Stratus Racing entered the 2011 Goodys Fast Relief 500 at Martinsville, but withdrew on Thursday before practice on Friday.

Youtheory continued to sponsor the car full-time until the final Texas race of the season.

During the California race weekend, Cope's team hauler was surrounded by African Swarming Bees.

The following week in Las Vegas, with E-hydrate and Ice-Aid on the car, the team wrecked the primary in practice.
