Carl Edwards on racing at Lowe’s Motor Speedway:
"I'm really looking forward to this weekend. We didn't test at Lowe's Motor Speedway so we kind of used the All-Star race as our test session. I think we were ok. We learned some things and I think once we get the Roundup Ford dialed in we'll be good. Sunday night is a long race and I think that will be good for me. I think as the night goes on people will get tired and make mistakes and hopefully I'll be able to take advantage of that."

Crew Chief Bob Osborne on racing at Lowe’s Motor Speedway:
"We're taking the same car we raced last week at the All-Star race. We had a little bit of damage to the right front and right rear of the car but the guys worked real hard this week to make repairs and I think we should be good to go for the 600. We used last week as a test session and I think we learned a few things that will help make us better for this weekend. We need to have a solid run this weekend to bounce back into the top-10 in points then we'll go from there. I think we are more than capable of that in the Roundup Ford."
