Ragan on racing at New Hampshire Motor Speedway:
“It’s always good to be heading back to a track that we’ve already run at earlier this year and had a top-15 finish and hopefully we can build on that. We had a good run at Richmond and we can usually use some of the same setups from Richmond at New Hampshire. We just need to keep up the good runs and try to get up to the 13th points position.”
Crew chief Drew Blickensderfer on racing at New Hampshire Motor Speedway:
“We ran really well at Richmond, the most recent short, flat track, so we plan on taking a similar setup to Loudon and improve on our Richmond performance. We are starting to get some momentum back with the last few races and that helps a lot. Keys to Loudon are track position and more track position, so qualifying and pit stops will be very critical.”
