Edwards on racing at Bristol Motor Speedway:
“Bristol is a tough track, but it's one that I really enjoy. I think it will be all about survival at Bristol. This team has been really strong this season, and I think we're going to be strong this weekend as well. It’s a tough track, but its going to be a lot of fun and hopefully we’ll get a great finish.”
Crew Chief Chris Andrews on racing at Bristol Motor Speedway:
“I'm looking forward to Bristol. We went to Atlanta with everyone watching how the organization would respond to Bob's (Osborne) suspension and we put the 99 in position to win the race. Carl has won two of the four races this year, and he was strong at Atlanta. Bristol is where Roush Fenway won its first COT race last year and we've only improved since then.”
