Edwards on racing at Watkins Glen International:
"I am excited about racing Watkins Glen. It's a really fun track to drive and I feel really good about the car we're bringing. It's the same car that we raced at Sonoma and I know it's a fast piece that is capable of leading laps. I think it's a good car that's capable of winning. Hopefully our pit strategies will work out this weekend and we'll be able to make some gains in the point standings."
Crew Chief Bob Osborne on racing at Watkins Glen International:
"I'm looking forward to racing Watkins Glen. We are bringing our Sonoma car there this weekend. It's a really good car that could've won at Sonoma but our pit strategy didn't play out they way we'd hoped. We struggled a lot last weekend and I'm very disappointed in our performance. I am really looking forward to having a better weekend in Watkins Glen."
