Ragan hopes to return to Front Row Motorsports in 2013:

This weekend David Ragan will be completing his first season with Front Row Motorsports (FRM) as the driver of the #34 Ford. Ragan, 26, joined the organization in late January and has piloted the FRM 34 Ford in all events this year. He has collected two top-10 and one top-five finishes this season. His best result came at Talladega in October when he crossed the line in the fourth position. Said Ragan: ‘As my first season ends with Front Row Motorsports, I want to thank everyone associated with the team and organization. I ‘ve got to thank Bob (Jenkins, team owner), Jerry Freeze (General Manager), Jay (Guy, crew chief) and everyone on my crew. I think everyone worked really hard this year. We expected a little bit more, but now we can concentrate on working on what’s next. I ‘d like the opportunity to come back with Front Row Motorsports in 2013. We have had some discussions about that, but don ‘t have anything locked up just yet. I think those are the talks we have over the off-season, but I feel we ‘re all in this together. We know where we can make some improvements. We made some strides forward this year, but we all know that there is still a lot of room to grow. I ‘d like to be a part of that. I think Front Row Motorsports is really one of the few organizations that have the ability to really make another big leap forward next year. Looking around, everyone can improve, but I think Front Row can really make a big leap with the right pieces. It’s really a great team and I ‘ve enjoyed myself here. I hope I can return in 2013 and be part of the continued growth.’(FRM)(11-14-2012)
