Ragan on racing in the Nationwide Series at Mexico City:
“Our Discount Tire team is coming off a nice run at Phoenix. We are going into Mexico City with a lot of
confidence right now. Road courses are always tough because we traditionally don’t run them a lot, but last
year’s experience at this track was very encouraging to me and my ability to run well. I am sure our team
has prepared a fast and competitive racecar for this weekend. We need a solid point day to stay right where
we want to be in the championship standings.”
Crew Chief Mike Kelley on racing at Mexico City:
“I am really looking forward to seeing what David can do the second time around at this road course. We
had a solid finish there last year but I feel like we are better prepared for it now. The key to this weekend is
staying on the course and being patient while running in traffic. The Discount Tire Ford Fusion will be fast,
we just have to make sure we take care of our equipment. Hopefully when everything is said and done we
can get a solid finish and move up in the point standings.”
