Carl Edwards on racing at Bristol Motor Speedway:
“I'm looking forward to racing this week at Bristol. The No. 99 team had a good weekend at Michigan last weekend and we are certainly hoping to build on that this coming Saturday night. I'll be racing the No. 99 Superchips F-150 Wednesday night so hopefully those extra laps will help me on Saturday. I think everyone looks forward to the Saturday night race at Bristol and I'm no different. We have Roundup on the car this week, the same paint scheme from earlier in the year, which will look great under the lights. It's going to be exciting and I hope to give the No. 99 team another good run."
Crew Chief Bob Osborne on racing at Bristol Motor Speedway:
“Bristol is a big challenge for any team. It's intense racing and there are a lot of factors that you can't control, so you have to do a really good job on the things that you can control. Carl did a great job last weekend at Michigan and we want to continue that momentum into this week's race at Bristol. The entire No. 99 team has been working tremendously hard and it's paying off. We'll go out there and do the best we can to have another good run with the No. 99 Roundup Ford."
