Ragan on racing at Bristol Motor Speedway:
"Short tracks are my favorite and the night race at Bristol ranks right up there at the top. Saturday night is going to be a lot of fun; we had a great race going for us in the spring, but got caught up in a wreck. We've got a good car for this weekend and I'm looking forward to going back to some short tracks. I just need to survive 500 laps and keep our UPS Ford out of trouble to be there at the end."
Crew chief Donnie Wingo on racing at Bristol Motor Speedway:
"Track position is so important at a place like Bristol. With so many cars on a half-mile surface it can be all too easy to go a lap down or get caught up in a wreck. We've got a fast UPS Ford and we should be good for this weekend. David really enjoys these short tracks and even got a Nationwide win at Bristol last fall."
