David Ragan made his final run in the No. 18 Toyota as a substitute for the injured Kyle Busch, a seat now to be filled by NASCAR Next alum Erik Jones. Ragan moves on to take over the No. 55 Toyota of Michael Waltrip Racing next Saturday night in Kansas.
“I wish Kansas was in about an hour,” Ragan said after being caught up in an early wreck and completing only 123 of 188 laps. “I just don’t like the five or six days that you have to dwell and think about last week’s race. Certainly, this is not a good race to go out on. I was hoping we could get a good finish and contend for a win here today, but just wasn’t meant to be. We had a lot of fun. We didn’t end on a good note, but you have that at Talladega sometimes.”
