Ragan on racing at Auto Club Speedway:
"I'm ready to get back to a normal race weekend and California is a great track to be heading to. It's a big, wide track which is pretty easy to pass on and we've always had good cars there. Plus Roush Fenway has always run really well there so that just gives me even more added confidence going into this weekend."

Crew chief Jimmy Fennig on racing at Auto Club Speedway:
"California is a place where track position is very important and you need to have your car handling well in traffic. It's a wide track with many opportunities to pass, but we'll need to qualify well and make smart calls on the track and in the pits to make sure we are up front in the end."
