Ragan, who leads the NASCAR Busch Series rookie of the year standings, remains a viable candidate to become the first driver to capture that honor in two series in the same season. He holds a comfortable 24-point lead over Marcos Ambrose in the Busch Series entering Saturday's Yellow Transportation 300 at Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, Kan. (3 p.m. Eastern, ESPN2). Ragan trails leader Juan Pablo Montoya by 15 points in the Nextel Cup series rookie standings with eight races remaining in the season. "It's pretty tough. Everyone says, ‘Man, you're not running that good in Busch' and I tell everyone it's just as hard top run in the top 10 in a Cup race as it is a Busch race," he said. "I've had my work cut off for us on the Busch side. "I feel like our position on the Cup side is where we want to be. We've had a few strong races. We've had a couple of races that we've struggled a little bit. We know some areas that we need to work on and I feel like we're getting close."
