Edwards on racing at Bristol Motor Speedway:
“Bristol isn’t a track I have run well at in the past. I think a lot of it has been because of bad luck or we get caught up in a wreck. I am looking forward to going there this coming weekend and finally bringing home a good finish for the Office Depot team. It is a lot of fun racing in Bristol; I always have a blast there.”
Crew Chief Bob Osborne on racing at Bristol Motor Speedway:
“Bristol isn’t a track the Office Depot team has seen much success at over the last year. It is one of the more challenging tracks we visit throughout the year. We have a great race car heading into next weekend, but with short track racing, it’s always a toss up. Our focus is to come out of Bristol with a top-10 finish and hopefully move up in the points a little. The Office Depot team is taking it one week at a time, not focusing on the short run, but the entire season.”
