David Ragan: Season-Best Finish at Talladega

Ragan raced to a season-best finish of sixth-place in Sunday's GEICO 500 at Talladega Superspeedway, teamfrm.com reports.

Analysis:

Ragan would have to overcome a pit road speeding penalty to race his way back to the front, but he had the speed to do it. The No. 38 Ford was plenty strong, and Ragan is an expert at racing in the draft on these superspeedways. The sixth-place finish was his first Top 10 of the season, and the veteran driver climbs into 25th-place in the driver standings as a result.
