Just like a UPS delivery man, David Ragan apparently has a good sense of timing.
NASCAR Starting Lineup For Brickyard 400: David Ragan Takes Top Spot At Indianapolis Motor Speedway
On a Brickyard 400 weekend in which Ragan is running a special throwback paint scheme to honor NASCAR Hall of Famer Ned Jarrett, Ragan claimed the pole for Sunday’s NASCAR race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway with a speed of 182.994 mph.
"Maybe we'll talk them into keeping this color next week," Ragan told Jarrett.
Ragan will start alongside Kasey Kahne (182.927 mph), with Jimmie Johnson, Kurt Busch and Brad Keselowski lining up behind them.
AJ Allmendinger, Juan Pablo Montoya, Jeff Gordon, Matt Kenseth and Carl Edwards rounded out the top 10.
What does Ragan plan to do in order to take advantage of his starting position on Sunday?
“I’m not going to change lanes before the start/finish line,” Ragan cracked, referring to his infamous mistake in the Daytona 500 – which cost him a shot at the win. “That’s the first thing I’m not going to do.”
Ragan, currently in a wild card Chase spot, would love to have another win to solidify his postseason position. Can he win the Brickyard 400?
