Ragan on racing at Richmond International Raceway:
“I like Saturday night racing more than anything else and Richmond is a race we have circled that we can win. It’s my favorite track and we are bringing a proven car, the one we raced there in the spring. I’d love to get a win Saturday night under the lights in our UPS Ford. We’ll try and qualify well and keep good track position throughout the race to be in the right position at the end.”
Crew chief Drew Blickensderfer on racing at Richmond International Raceway:
“We ran really well at the first Richmond, so we are looking forward to going back. We even rebuilt the same car that did so well to take back this time. Qualifying well and having good pit stops will be important to gaining and keeping track position throughout the evening to get our UPS Ford back to victory lane.”
