Ragan on racing in the Nationwide Series at Talladega:
“Our Discount Tire team is ready to rebound from Mexico City. We had a bit of bad luck but we are going to Talladega where I am always excited to run. This weekend is going to be an extremely fun race. There will be a lot of competition and a lot of guys racing hard on every lap. I have to be up on the wheel all afternoon. We felt like we left a little on the table the last time we were here, and we still finished fourth. Our Discount Tire team will be ready to do whatever it takes to get to Victory Lane.”

Crew Chief Mike Kelley on racing at Talladega:
“I am extremely confident we can make some noise at Talladega. Our Discount Tire Ford Fusion is very fast and we have a tremendous setup for this weekend. David had a good run at Talladega last year, so I feel like this weekend will be no different. David has matured a lot as a driver and I think he is ready to take us to the next level. As long as our Discount Tire pit crew continues to do a great job, we can secure a great finish.”
