Kansas: Ragan post race interview

DAVID RAGAN -- No. 6 Discount Tire Ford Fusion (finished 3rd, qualified 9th)

"Well, that's about the best we've been on a mile-and-a-half track in a while. We always seem to be pretty good on Friday and then when they drop the green flag we're usually just pretty average. But, we made a good run and made good pit stops. You know, we were a fifth- or sixth-place car and got track position at the end and finished third."

DENNY HAMLIN HAS HAD HIS CUP CREW CHIEF WORKING THE NATIONWIDE SIDE. DO YOU EVER WANT YOUR CUP CREW CHIEF ON SATURDAYS OR DO YOU FEEL LIKE HE'S GOT ENOUGH TO WORRY ABOUT?

"Yeah, I wouldn't mind having my Cup crew chief around. He'd probably make my [Nationwide] crew chief so nervous that it would be a catastrophe in the pits. But, no, it would be good to have my Cup crew chief around a little bit to just maybe pick up on one or two things. And even if he's not here he looks over the notes and he knows what we did all day today. He's back at the hotel watching on TV, but he'll know what we did anyway."
