Ragan on racing in the Busch Series at Texas Motor Speedway:
“We had a great run last weekend. I think our Discount Tire team is in a great rhythm right now. I know everybody believes we are very close to capturing our first win of the season. The pit crew has been great and our equipment has been superb. I think Texas could be a special weekend for the entire Discount Tire family. I am very familiar with the track and I know what to expect during the race. There will be a lot of talented and aggressive drivers in this race, but I believe we can run in the front among the elite all day long.”
Crew Chief Mike Kelley on racing at Texas Motor Speedway:
“We are bringing our best car to Texas. We have four top-10 finishes with this Ford Fusion. I always believe we can win any race we enter. This weekend will be no different for the Discount Tire team. We have a lot of momentum going into this weekend and I know we have a shot at moving up in the point standings. I am proud of our guys for working hard in the shop, preparing great racecars and staying focused as the season winds down. David is eyeing the Rookie-of-the-Year crown, so it would be fitting to get a win to go along with that trophy.”
