How many of you can actually say you saw this coming? The kid had trouble making races last year. Now he's on the verge of becoming a Chase-contender. The turn-around is amazing! I hope he gets his first win this season.

I honor you David Ragan.

  1. It truly is a "feel good" story, and will make an even better story if he does indeed get in the chase. I have noticed with this question and prior ones that there are a lot of us who are pulling for him to make it. Here's to hoping he has a great finish in the Fontana race.

    Edit: I called him David Wreckum Ragan last season too. I feel bad now.


  2. i dont pull for ford or jack but i do pull for david ragan

  3. I did!

    Well not really...Well kind of. But I believed in him all of last year so that has to count for something. And it was in 2006 he had trouble making races.

    I hope he makes the chase and I can't wait till his first win!

  4. I didn't see it coming but im happy for him he seems like a nice guy.

  5. I didn't see it coming this fast, but are you at all shocked?  The man drives the SIGNATURE car for Roush, so he's got to be good.  I'm rooting for him to get his first win as well!

  6. I've always had a soft spot for David. So I'm glad to see how much he's improved this year. I'm hoping he gets his first win soon. I'm thinking he's going to pull off the 12th spot in the chase.

  7. He didn't have trouble making races.  He had trouble racing.  lol  In any case I am sooooo pulling for him to take a spot in the chase.  He's a good guy which is odd for me considering I like the "bad boys" normally.  Go David!

  8. yea... i was shocked too. he should of gotten his 1st win in cup by now ya know with a good team (roush) he's been with them for like... 3 years?!? anyways i hope he'll beat clint bowyer in the chase and i'm looking 2 see him win soon in the series as well as of the nationwide series

  9. yes he is doing well.  Fist you don't hear his name and now suddenly he's the story of the season.  (almost)

    I hope he gets a win too!


  10. It's great to see the #6 being a contender! I pulled for his dad back in the 80's just because of his "underdog" status....great to see his kid making a name for himself. I am sure the first win is not far off.

  11. Wow, I called him David Wreck 'em last year but he has become a lot more patient and consistent in 2008.  The kid can drive, now that he is managing his races better he should only get better each year.  Once the young JGR drivers do the same they will be perennial championship contenders and NOT just chase makers.

    3 STR8 N 08!!!

  12. I totally did not see it coming, I was one of the ones on here who called him David Wreckum Ragan last yr..Man has this kid improved, he has totally surprised me, its great. I'd like to see him sneak in the chase and win a race this yr. If I were Jamie MacMurray I'd be worried.. Here comes David Ragan Moving Up, go get'um kid..

    Go Dale Jr & Hms

  13. I sure didn't. He has done really well this year. Last year he hit everything except the lottery. He couldn't keep sheet metal on a car and I figured he was going to be the odd man out at Roush with the team limits coming. I know I'm pulling for him and moved him into my top 5.

  14. I didn't really see it coming, but I'm happy for him. Judging by his interviews he just seems like a nice guy. I really hope his efforts and hard work get him a win this year.  

  15. I will admit I didn't see that coming .But look out he is on a mission ! I think his first win is coming soon !

  16. Good for him.  It's been nice to see him coming along as well as he has.  We all honor you, David!

  17. David Ragan is doing much better this then last year but i would love to see win some day but if he don't win this year fore sure he will win next year

  18. I didn't see it coming but he has done a great job this season and just might make the chase so kudos's to him I would like to see him get a win this season too!
