Ragan has participated in the Showdown for three consecutive years, finishing as high as second in 2013.
“The Showdown is a great event every year and we’re excited to be a part of it once again,” Ragan said. “We’ve come close to winning this thing before and we’ll give it our best shot again. But what’s most important is that it raises money for an important cause, and it’s always fun no matter the outcome. We’re glad to have Skuttle Tight, CSX and Farmer Machine on board to help draw attention to it.”
