Ragan on racing at Atlanta Motor Speedway:
“Atlanta is my hometown track and I’m very excited to be heading there this weekend. It really is a great track to race at. You can carry fast speeds and there are multiple grooves to race. I actually wish we raced there a few more times in the season, twice just isn’t enough. We had a really solid run last weekend in Vegas. My team did a great job on my AAA Ford Fusion and we were able to gain some points and earn a top-10 finish.”
Crew Chief Jimmy Fennig on racing at Atlanta Motor Speedway:
“We went to Vegas with the goal of earning some points and we definitely did that. David had a strong, solid run, built up a lot of momentum and the top-10 finish gives the team some extra confidence going into this weekend. Atlanta is David’s hometown track so we definitely want to get a good finish there for him.”
