Ragan on racing at Martinsville Speedway:
“Martinsville is one of my favorite tracks on the schedule. It will take some adjusting coming from the biggest track on the circuit, to the shortest track, but we have had some good runs on the short tracks this year and I expect to run up front. Track position is important, so we are really going to focus on qualifying, and I’ll need to take care of my brakes all day to be in position at the end.”
Crew chief Drew Blickensderfer on racing at Martinsville Speedway:
“We have run really well at short tracks this year, so we expect to continue that at Martinsville. After doing the tire test there a couple months ago, and running in the top 10 there in the spring, our goals are to start up front and get win number two of the year.”
