Carl Edwards on racing at Darlington Raceway:
“Darlington is hands down my favorite track on the circuit. The shape of the track is unique – one end is
different than the other, so you have to set the car up for almost two different types of corners. I really can’t
say enough about racing at Darlington.”
Crew Chief Bob Osborne on racing at Darlington Raceway:
“Darlington is a tough track and not only for the driver. You have to be really careful with the set up of the
racecar. The new track surface has a lot of grip and is very smooth. The cars will be very fast and difficult
to drive. Carl considers Darlington to be one of his favorite tracks, and we’re all looking forward to another
good finish here with the Claritin team.”
