Edwards on racing at Richmond International Raceway:
“I think racing at Richmond is going to be a blast this weekend. It was disappointing to be eliminated from the Chase after California, but the entire No. 99 Office Depot team is staying positive. We want to race for wins now and prepare for 2007. Richmond is an awesome track, and I think we’re going to have a lot of fun. I hope the fans are excited, too.”
Crew Chief Wally Brown on racing at Richmond International Raceway:
“The Office Depot team is looking forward to a Saturday night short-track race. Richmond is a track where you have to keep a good balance in the car and not use up your brakes too early. We had a top-10 finish here in May, and I think we’ll be good again. Not making the Chase is tough, but we’re going to keep working hard and racing to win. There is a lot we can accomplish during the rest of the season, and Richmond is a great place to start.”
