Carl Edwards on racing at Kansas Speedway:
“I'm really, really excited about this race. It's as good as it gets for me, racing a NEXTEL Cup car basically in your hometown. I won the truck race at Kansas earlier this year and I had a really good test with the Cup team there last week. I think it will be a good opportunity to run well."
