Edwards on racing at Lowe’s Motor Speedway:
“I feel really good heading into the Coca-Cola 600 this weekend; the race on Saturday night is going to be a blast. All the guys worked really hard this past weekend to get the handling and setup of the car in order. Hopefully, we can transfer everything we learned this past weekend into a solid run at the 600. The car was awesome near the end of the night. I feel really confident we can go into the 600 and run well. The Office Depot team needs to continue having good runs and being there at the end of each race.”
Crew Chief Wally Brown on racing at Lowe’s Motor Speedway:
“The entire Office Depot team is looking forward to another night race this weekend at home in Concord. The 600 is a very demanding race both on the engine, as well as the driver. You have to be able to adjust on the car throughout the race because the weather and track conditions change so much during the night. After a great finish last weekend in the All-Star race, I think we have the setup and race package needed to do well. The Office Depot team needs to start racking up the top-five finishes and hopefully work ourselves into the top 10 in the point standings.”
