David Ragan on racing in the Nationwide Series at Richmond International Raceway:
“I am excited to run under the lights at Richmond. The atmosphere will be very fun, and I know the Discount Tire team will be prepared for anything this weekend. The key to success at Richmond is a good qualifying effort. If we can stay up front from the outset I think we can have a very solid run. Our Ford Fusion will be fast, we just have to take care of business on and off pit road. We need a good run to get back in the hunt for a championship.”

Crew Chief Mike Kelley on racing at Richmond International Raceway:
“We had a rough weekend in Talladega. I think we all need to regroup and put that in the past. Richmond is a tough short track that will be a challenge for us. Luckily, David has some experience there and he knows how to get around the race track. Our short track program is solid and our Discount Tire Ford Fusion is proven. We are bringing our top-five car from Phoenix to Richmond, so I can assure you we will do everything we can to duplicate that performance.”
