Ragan on racing in the Nationwide Series at Phoenix International Raceway:
“Our Discount Tire team rebounded nicely last week with a solid top-10 finish. I feel like our team has made great strides from week to week, and I believe we are very close to getting that first win. Phoenix will be a challenge for us this weekend but I am confident we can run well. Our Ford Fusion is fast and our short track program is really good. It should be a fun weekend in the desert for us.”

Crew Chief Mike Kelley on racing at Phoenix International Raceway:
“We had a solid top-10 finish last weekend that helped us out in the points. I really like our consistency this year and our ability to finish strong every week. I think it gives us momentum the following week. Phoenix is a tough short track that has not been kind to us the last couple of times out. I am confident things will be different this weekend. David is getting better and better at the short tracks and he has already tested Phoenix this year in his Cup car. If we stay focused I think we can come away with a solid finish.”
