Ragan on racing at New Hampshire International Speedway:
“We are coming off a good run last weekend in Richmond so I am really hoping that we can carry that momentum into this weekend in New Hampshire. The car we are taking ran last in Dover and finished 14th so my plan is to finish better in the car this go around. Loudon is actually a pretty cool place for Roush Fenway to come race since John Henry and the Red Sox are right down the road in Boston. It is really cool to be associated with such a huge organization and for Mr. Henry and the No. 6 team owner, Mike Dee, out there supporting us at the race track.”
Crew Chief Jimmy Fennig on racing at New Hampshire International Speedway:
“David did a great job in Richmond last weekend and the team did a great job in the pits so hopefully that was a good morale booster and we will be going into Loudon with some confidence and the realization that we do have the potential to win a race at this point. We finished 15th at Loudon back in June so obviously we would like to finish better than that this time, but our main focus right now is moving up in the points. David made a big gain in rookie points last week and if we keep it up he still has a good shot at Rookie of the Year.”
