Best Finish: 26th

“I’m looking forward to going to Auto Club Speedway this weekend. It will still be a learning experience, even though we’ve seen this package at Vegas and Atlanta. I think we’ll see more cars staying wide open for longer periods of time. Looking forward to making strides with our No. 34 Love’s Ford Mustang and setting ourselves up for where we need to be moving forward this season.”

“We’ve got some good momentum heading to Fontana this weekend. Coming off a Top-20 finish at Phoenix, I’m excited to see what this package will bring. Our partners at Surface Sunscreen are based in Southern California, so I’m really excited to have them on the car again and hopefully we can strive for another great finish.”

David Ragan on Fontana

Best Finish: 7th
“It will be interesting to see how the race plays out with the aero ducts and downforce in this package. Auto Club is a unique track and I really enjoy racing there. We’ve had some good speed so far this year, so I think we will continue to be competitive this weekend.”
