Ragan on racing at Talladega Superspeedway:
“It’s kind of crazy going straight from the shortest track we race at to the longest track, but I really enjoy racing at Talladega. It’s not far from my home in Georgia, so a lot of my family comes to the race. I’m excited about our special UPS Logistics paint scheme for this weekend. I think the car looks really good and Talladega is a place we can run really well at. Talladega is such a wide, smooth track which creates tight packs and makes for some exciting racing.”
Crew chief Drew Blickensderfer on racing at Talladega Superspeedway:
“I’m excited to head to a restrictor-plate race with David. He tends to run really well at these superspeedways and Talladega is the place he got his first Nationwide win. Overall he has a pretty good track record in the Cup car at Talladega. Restrictor-plate racing is all about staying out of trouble and being in the right line at the end with help to push you to the end. Hopefully we can do just that and get a good finish in our UPS Logistics Ford.”
