Ragan on racing in the Busch Series at Dover International Speedway:
“I am very confident going into this weekend. The ‘Monster Mile’ is a challenging concrete track that presents a lot of challenges, but we ran well here in June until we got wrecked. It doesn’t hurt that we are bringing a fast race car to the track. We are fortunate to have great equipment and the resources to insure a good car setup. The Discount Tire team has put me in position to run well every week, so I want to return the favor with a win. As long as we keep working hard as a team and maintain the high level of preparation, good things will happen for this team.”
Crew Chief Mike Kelley on racing at Dover International Speedway:
“David has a lot of experience at Dover. It makes it easier to prepare a car if the driver knows the nuances of a track. We need to work hard this week in preparation and make sure we get the most out of every practice session. Dover is a fast concrete track that can get the best of many drivers. We are going to insure that doesn’t happen with David. The progress David has made since the first Dover race is off the charts. I am confident David can run in the top 10 all day.”
