Ragan Drives UPS Freight Ford to a 23rd-Place Finish in Richmond

RICHMOND, Vir. (May 2, 2009) – Richmond International Raceway is one of David Ragan’s favorite tracks and a place where he’s finished strong in the past.  Unfortunately this time around worn tires and track position would cost him the top-10 finish he deserved.  Ragan qualified his No. 6 UPS Freight Ford 22nd and survived all 15 cautions in the 400 lap race.  Ultimately, a tight handling car and worn tires resulted in a 23rd-place finish for Ragan.
