As Amber and Angela gained more expertise and confidence behind the wheel, they realized that they would have to leave Washington to seek a career in NASCAR. They relocated to Charlotte, North Carolina, to begin training with Uncle Derrike Cope, attending every Cup race he attended. They both earned degrees from NC State University during their time there together. Angela graduated in 2000 with a degree in marketing and sales management, and she has worked for Lowe's Home Improvement as a sales representative ever since. She currently lives in Mooresville, North Carolina with her family. Amber completed her degree in 2001 and went on to work at Lowe's as a merchandiser until 2003 when she was hired by Furniture Row Racing as an office manager. She now works as a janitor at Roush Fenway Racing. Both women were very attractive students at NC State, and many men noticed them while they were attending school there. In addition, some of them came forward after learning that they were full-time employees at NASCAR races where their father competed. They both received promotions within their companies, and they now earn a combined annual salary of $150,000. They also each own a part-time business, with Angela owning a clothing line and Amber working as a freelance publicist.
