David Ragan on racing at Talladega Superspeedway:
“Talladega is always a great race for fans to watch. It’s a restrictor-plate race so there will be a lot of drafting and shuffling around for position. Aerodynamics are important, so we need to run a clean race to be around at the end and be in contention for a good finish. We’ve always had fast cars here, but just haven’t gotten the finish we deserve. I’m really excited to get back to the track this weekend and see what we can do and hopefully pick up some more points.”
Crew Chief Jimmy Fennig on racing at Talladega Superspeedway:
“Talladega should be a pretty good race for us. David tends to run well there and we just need to go out there and get some more points. You never know what will happen in a restrictor-plate race with all the drafting, but hopefully we can have a clean race and be around at the end to rack up some more points.”
