Ragan will again pilot the No. 6 AAA Ford in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series in 2008 as well as the No. 6 Discount Tire Ford in the NASCAR Nationwide Series.
Ragan concluded his rookie season in the Cup Series with two top-five finishes. His first came when he finished fifth in the Daytona 500 in February 2007 and then again when he crossed the finish line in third place at Richmond in the fall.
David’s hard work really paid off towards the end of the 2006 season when he was selected by Jack Roush to be the driver of the No. 6 AAA Ford Fusion in 2007.
David finished off the season as runner up for the Rookie of the Year title in the NEXTEL Cup Series and was named the Rookie of the Year in the NASCAR Busch Series.
After participating in Roush’s “Driver X” competition in 2005, Ragan was selected as co-driver of the No.6 Roush Racing Ford F-150 with teammate, Mark Martin.

In the 19 races that David started in the Craftsman Truck Series he was able to achieve one top five, eight top 10s and one pole. He also competed in a select number of Busch and Cup Series events.
As soon as he turned 18, David made his first foray in NASCAR, running select Craftsman Truck and Busch Series events, along with a limited ARCA schedule. He started second in his first ARCA start, and led a number of laps before a cut tire took him out of contention. It was obvious his hard work and preparation were well on the way to paying off, and David was on his way to making it in NASCAR’s premier series.
With the help of Strader, David ran several late model races across the southeast in 2002. Still too young to compete in the NASCAR divisions, David made sure he was running the most comparable equipment possible. He began his relationship with Mark Martin, driving for him in the Legends Pro-Division, finishing fourth in series points out of 60 plus drivers.
