Edwards on racing at Richmond International Raceway:
"I'm looking forward to going to Richmond, especially since we are locked into the ‘Chase’. There isn’t as much pressure going into Richmond this weekend and my Office Depot team and I can go out there and just have fun. That’s what we did last weekend at California and we ended up with a pretty strong finish. Richmond is a challenging track to drive but fun at the same time. The Office Depot team had a good run there in the spring and since then my team has made tons of improvements, so I am really confident going into Richmond.”
Crew Chief, Bob Osborne on racing at Richmond International Raceway:
"Richmond should be pretty good for the Office Depot team. We had a decent run there in the spring and since then we’ve made some gains in our Car of Tomorrow program, so I feel good about our chances for good things there. We need to stay focused and continue to do what we know how to do and with that, we'll be able to run up front and contend for the Championship. We've got a great driver and a great team and I’m really looking forward to the ‘Chase’."
