(June 17, 2013) – Before David Ragan climbs into his NASCAR Sprint Cup Series car for Sunday’s race at Sonoma Raceway, he’s going to climb into the driver’s seat of the 18-wheeler that will carry that race car 2,700 miles from North Carolina to California.

Track Ragan and Smith’s journey on Twitter by following @DavidRagan and @MikeS702.

The driver of the No. 34 Taco Bell Ford will be at the wheel of the team’s 80-foot, 80,000-pound transporter early Tuesday morning when it pulls out of the Front Row Motorsports race shop for the cross-country trip. Team truck driver Mike Smith, the rig’s primary operator throughout the season, will accompany Ragan and split the seat time during the 42-hour journey.

“I’ve always had a fascination with big trucks,” Ragan said. “I wanted to get my CDL (commercial driver’s license), so I got that a little while ago. And I thought it would be fun to take a trip across the country on the open roads and see everything, and at the same time get to spend some time with my truck driver.”

I finally had a chance to digest what happened at the end of the Cup race at Talladega on Sunday. I owe David Ragan and his fans an apology. I placed blame on David Ragan for the restart lineup confusion when it wasn’t his fault.

I was very passionate about the finish because I thought we had a chance to win the race if I restarted the race in the 10th position instead of ninth. Passion is a very important characteristic to a champion driver. That passion is not something I will apologize for. The outside line – the 10th spot, in particular – was a huge advantage over the 9th position. David executed that positioning perfectly for the win.
