MOORESVILLE, N.C. \u2013 DGR-Crosley announced today that veteran NASCAR Cup Series driver David Ragan would join the team for the upcoming NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series race at Richmond Raceway. Select Blinds, the leading online retailer of custom window coverings, will adorn the sides of Ragan\u2019s No. 17 Ford F-150 at the historic venue as the Truck Series makes a return to the .75-mile track after a 15-year hiatus.<\/p>\n
Ragan, who retired from full-time racing at the end of the 2019 season, will bring a wealth of knowledge to DGR-Crosley\u2019s Driver Development program. The 34-year-old has over 13 years of Cup Series competition under his belt and has currently moved into a development role with Ford Performance, where he assists teams with simulator work and has a hand in developing the Next Gen car that will come into play in 2021.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m really looking forward to racing one of DGR-Crosley\u2019s F-150\u2019s at Richmond,\u201d said Ragan. \u201cI\u2019ve been friends with David [Gilliland] for a long time, and I see how much work he\u2019s putting into this team and the success they\u2019ve had early on. They have a shop full of great people and I\u2019m glad that we could make all this happen.\u201d<\/p>\n
While Ragan hasn\u2019t competed in the NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series since 2006, he has an abundance of experience across all three of NASCAR\u2019s national series, as well as over 30 combined starts at Richmond Raceway. Ragan\u2019s most recent NASCAR start occurred in the Cup Series season opener at Daytona International Speedway where he earned a fourth-place finish driving for Rick Ware Racing with Select Blinds on his car. They first sponsored Ragan in 2019 when he was racing fulltime for Front Row Motorsports. Now they will join him in the Truck Series with DGR-Crosley.<\/p>\n

The company offers child-safe cordless blinds to prevent injury along with a wide variety of blinds and shades for your home or business. Their online home makes it easy, affordable and secure for fans to purchase new window coverings.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been a long time since I\u2019ve raced in the Truck Series, and I\u2019m incredibly thankful to Select Blinds for supporting me and allowing me to do this,\u201d remarked Ragan. \u201cThis is what I wanted to do when I decided to stop racing full-time at the end of last season; I want to race in different series, with different teams. Obviously, we want to be competitive, and I have no doubt that DGR-Crosley will bring me a great truck. Richmond has always been one of my favorite tracks that we race at; hopefully, we can get the folks from Select Blinds another good finish this year and put on a good show for the fans.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
