Ragan on racing at Kansas Speedway:

“I’m looking forward to getting back to a 1.5-mile track after all the short tracks we’ve been to lately.  Kansas is really similar to Chicago and that was one of our good tracks recently so I expect good things this weekend.  We had a good car last weekend in Dover, but had some bad luck on pit road.  Hopefully all can go well this weekend and we can get a solid finish in our UPS Ford.”

Crew chief Drew Blickensderfer on racing at Kansas Speedway:

“Kansas is very similar to Chicago and David had a good run at Chicago so we’re definitely looking forward to this weekend.  I think Kansas is a track where the new FR9 engine can really shine.  But track position is important, so we’ll need to be good on pit road to hope to stay up front.  Kansas should be a good weekend for our UPS Ford.”
