PERRY, Ga. – It’s a stormy Sunday afternoon in Georgia and Ken Ragan, the Director of Legends racing at Atlanta Motor Speedway, is back home relaxing following a marathon day at Lanier National Speedway.
A few hours earlier, Ragan was busy overseeing 91 Bandolero and Legends cars battle deep into the night in double features on the .375-mile oval in Braselton, Ga.
Label it a typical weekend for the former NASCAR Cup Series driver who has had a hand in the popular Bandolero and Legends program since it launched in the 1990s.
A week earlier, all three of NASCAR’s touring series invaded Atlanta Motor Speedway, where Ragan’s Legends of Georgia office sits in the infield.
One of Ragan’s star pupils, Joey Logano, stopped by the office on Sunday morning to offer words of encouragement to several of the current crop of Bandolero and Legends drivers who compete on AMS’ quarter-mile layout.
