Edwards on racing at Kansas Speedway:
“I’m really excited to race at Kansas this week. It’s my hometown track so it will be neat having so many family and friends there. I think we have a really good car for this weekend. Kansas is a really fun track to drive and I think we’ll be able to have a good run there. We made it through what I think have been three of our biggest hurdles in the ‘Chase’ so far so the entire Office Depot team is looking forward to going racing at the kind of track where we’ve been successful in the past."
Crew Chief Bob Osborne on racing at Kansas Speedway:
“We’re taking a brand new car that has not been raced or tested. I think we have a really good chance to run well at Kansas this weekend. The last three weeks have provided three of the biggest obstacles for this team in the ‘Chase’ so I think we are ready to go have fun and race at a track that we are confident we can run well at."
