Ragan on racing in the Busch Series at California Speedway:
“I am very comfortable going to Fontana this time around. We improved on our finish last time we were here but I felt like we could have done a lot better. At this point in the season we have to focus on securing top 10 finishes every week. The Discount Tire team can’t afford to have any bad weeks. I believe we can improve in the standings if we continue to run well but everybody has to be on the same page. I can’t stress that enough. Also, our over the wall guys have to be consistent and I have to take care of our equipment. If we put it all together, special things can happen for this team.”
Crew Chief Mike Kelley on racing at California Speedway:
“We are really excited to get back to Fontana for the second time with David. It is a big plus when he can see a track for the second time in a year. We are taking a new body build for the Roush Busch cars. The Discount Tire team has done a lot in preparation for this weekend. The Ford Fusion looks really good in the tunnel and David has gotten two top 15 finishes in the car. I am confident we can run in the front and secure another good finish Saturday night. We have our sights set on getting David Rookie-of-the Year honors and picking up a win for the Discount Tire family.”
