QUOTE WORTHY

Edwards quotes on the Federated Auto Parts 400

“Going into Richmond locked into the Chase is a huge relief for us. I know how stressful that race can be and how stressful it will be for a number of the guys in the field. We’ve run really well there lately and have really fast race cars so, just like Bristol and Atlanta, we feel like we can go there and have a really good shot at winning the race. I like the race track because it’s the perfect mix of high speeds and short track racing; there are multiple grooves, it’s really fun to drive on. But the real story is the Chase and who’s going to be in it, and it’ll be interesting to watch that, Even from the driver seat I think a lot of the drivers and the crews will be watching that race just like the fans to see who gets in.”
