“We struggled to make the right adjustments to our Pursuit Channel / Mossy Oak Ford all weekend. We got it a little better during the race, but when you end up with long green flag runs at the beginning of a race on a short track like Richmond, you risk going several laps down early, which we did.”

This week Ragan heads to Chicagoland Speedway, where he has finished in the top-25 in all 5 of his starts at the track, including a career-best finish of 8th.

“Getting spun early certainly didn’t help our finish. We made the right adjustments towards the end, but by then it was too late to make up enough ground to post a top-25 finish. I did stop at Taco Bell after the race, since the rain kept us on the track until about 12:30 a.m. It’s nice to have a sponsor that’s open late.”
