MOORESVILLE, N.C. – David Ragan’s plans for retirement will have to wait at least one more race.
Ragan, who announced last season he would be retiring from full-time NASCAR Cup Series competition at the end of 2019, will join Rick Ware Racing to compete in the Daytona 500 next month at Daytona Int’l Speedway.
The 34-year-old is scheduled to drive the No. 36 Ford Fusion with sponsorship from Select Blinds and Speedy Cash.
Really excited for the opportunity to get behind the wheel of the No. 36 @Select_Blinds Ford Mustang for @RickWareRacing at @DISupdates!
Thank you to both @Select_Blinds and @speedycash for coming on board for the 62nd running of the Great American Race. pic.twitter.com/56AbAPkH2R
