Edwards on racing at Lowe’s Motor Speedway:
"I'm really looking forward to this weekend. After the disappointment of last weekend, I am eager to get a good finish in the Office Depot Ford. We learned some things in the (NEXTEL) Open and I think once we get the Office Depot Ford dialed in we'll be really 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 great car last week, but weren’t able to get the set up just right for the 40-lap run. The Office Depot Ford just got too tight there at the end and unfortunately it cost us the All-Star race. We’ve done some work on the car and made some significant adjustments so I think we should be good to go for the 600. We used last week as a bit of a test session and I think we learned a few things that will help make us better for this weekend. We’re just looking for another solid run this weekend to maintain our top-10 point standing.”
