For some NASCAR Sprint Cup drivers, racing on Sunday just isn’t enough. It takes two races in one event weekend to satisfy the need for high-speed, adrenaline-rushing auto racing.

After finishing 13th in points and narrowly missing the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup in 2008, David Ragan, driver of the No. 6 Roush Fenway Ford, expected to win races and contend for the Chase this season.

He did pick up his first Nationwide victory at Talladega in April, but as Ragan, 23, told Sporting News, he's still looking for answers.
