Ragan on racing in the Nationwide Series at Atlanta:
“I feel like we have some momentum going into Atlanta. We came together as a team last week and pulled out a hard fought top 10. We are starting to gel a lot faster this year and that is always a plus. Atlanta is a fast track that can be hard on tires. If we come up with a good strategy to protect against tire wear we will be okay. Our Discount Tire Ford Fusion will be very fast. It is the same car we won the pole with at Homestead last year. I am excited about returning to my home state, and a win would make it that much nicer.”

Crew Chief Mike Kelley on racing at Atlanta:
“Atlanta is a very fast track that can eat you up quick. Good balance on a racecar is the key to optimum performance. I feel like we are going into a great situation this weekend. David will have a little extra motivation because he will be at his home track. I am sure every guy on this Discount Tire team will do everything they can to get him into victory lane. Our mile and a half program is very stout and the Ford Fusion we are bringing is fast. I hope all of these factors add up to a win.”
