Ragan on racing at Michigan International Speedway:
“I’m excited to be back at Jack’s home track since Michigan is a track that has been good to us in the past. I’m looking forward to a good run in our UPS Ford to get our season back on track. We are taking our Indy car, which sat on the pole and was strong all day, so hopefully we can repeat some of that success.”
Crew chief Drew Blickensderfer on racing at Michigan International Speedway:
“The Roush cars typically run well at Michigan, and with this being Ford and Jack’s home track, it gives us extra incentive to run well. Michigan is also a track where David has had some good runs at and we need a good run to try and get some points back. We’ve got a few races left until the Chase begins and we need to work our way back up into the top 20.”
