QUOTES
Carl Edwards on racing at Chicagoland:
"I am excited to race Chicago. We are coming off of an awesome race at Daytona,
where we got a great finish, helped a teammate win and gained some points. I think
we have the potential to do really well this weekend. We are bringing the Michigan
car, which is an amazing car and helped us get a win for Office Depot a few weeks
ago. Even though, I haven't had the best finishes in the past at Chicago, I feel
confident that we'll do great this weekend."
Crew Chief Bob Osborne on racing at Chicagoland:
"I'm looking forward to getting back to the 1.5-mile tracks. Carl runs really well at
those types of tracks so we are certainly hoping to have a strong finish and make
gains in the point standings. Tracks like Chicago, Fontana and Kansas seem like
cookie cutter type tracks but actually they all have their own unique characteristics
so running at Chicago should make for some great racing."
