Ragan on racing at Charlotte Motor Speedway:
“I’m looking forward to running the United Way paint scheme this weekend in the only night race in the Chase. It’s amazing how much money UPS has been able to raise for such a good cause; I’m honored to have United Way on our car. Drew and I are getting better every week, so another week together will be good. If we continue the way we’ve been working together we should earn a good finish for UPS and the United Way.”
Crew chief Drew Blickensderfer on racing at Charlotte Motor Speedway:
“Five-hundred miles at Charlotte is a long race, so we’ll need to take care of our car during practice to survive the race. It’s a long race and as the temperatures cool down during the night you need to build adjustability into your setup. Charlotte is a hometown track so we all want to get a good finish in front of our friends and family. We’ve had good speed lately and it would be great to get a good finish at Charlotte with our special United Way paint scheme on our UPS Ford.”
