Ragan on racing at Richmond International Raceway:

"Richmond is always an exciting track to race at. It's a very fast short track and racing under the lights is always fun for us as drivers and for the fans to watch. After a good run last week in Talladega, I feel like our UPS team has some momentum headed into Richmond this weekend."

Crew chief Donnie Wingo on racing at Richmond International Raceway:

"Richmond should be a pretty good race for us this weekend. One of the biggest challenges of racing there is being loose into the turns and just getting it to turn. Practicing at day and racing at night used to be a big challenge, but lately the track hasn't seemed to change much from day to night. Coming off a good run at Talladega we are all ready to get to Richmond and get another solid finish in our UPS Ford."
