Ragan on racing in the Cup Series at Las Vegas Motor Speedway:
“We’ve got a decent package to go back to Vegas but it’s going to be a learning program for us all this year. We tested out there about a month or so ago so I learned a little bit about the track and feel a little more prepared for this weekend. Jimmy is taking advantage of every situation that will help me and this team succeed. I am real happy with how things have been going so far this season so all we need to do now is keep it up and keep improving week in and week out.”
Crew Chief Jimmy Fennig on racing at Las Vegas Motor Speedway:
“We are taking the same cars to Vegas as our primary and backup that we took to California. David is doing a great job so far with these first two races. He just needs to stay focused and we will work on getting a good qualifying spot so we will hopefully be able to continue to avoid the mess near the back of the field.”
