DAVID RAGAN, No. 38 FireAde Ford Mustang -- THE LOCAL FAVORITE. WHAT IS IT LIKE TO BE HOME? “I thought you were going to ask how many speeding tickets I got down here. I love coming home to Georgia. It is still home to me. To be here is a great feeling. I love the race track. If you would pick this place up and move it in the middle of the country I would still enjoy racing here."

Kevin Harvick isn’t sure how to tackle Atlanta Motor Speedway in his bid for a second consecutive Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 victory. The 2014 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series champion led a race-high 181 laps in winning last year’s event, but Harvick faces a different challenge this year.

KEVIN HARVICK, No. 4 Busch Beer Ford Mustang -- WHAT IS THE OUTLOOK FOR WINNING BACK-TO-BACK AT THIS TRACK? “I don't really know other than the fact that it is obviously a lot different than what it has been in the past. We didn't practice any. We had some steering issues, so I don't really have a lot of answers for direction. We will be able to tell more tomorrow.”
