Carl Edwards on racing at Texas Motor Speedway:
“I’ve had a lot of success at Texas throughout my career and I am hoping to continue that this weekend. All the guys on this No. 99 team have been working really hard all year, and I am confident that the Aflac team will be competitive this weekend.”
Crew Chief Chris Andrews on racing at Texas Motor Speedway:
“After a few weeks of running in the top 10 and not getting the finish we expected, we came home from Martinsville with a ninth-place finish. It was Carl's best finish there in the Cup car. It was great to get the finish we deserved after a few tough weeks. Based on our performance at Atlanta last month, we're all looking forward to getting to Texas. The racetracks are similar, and Carl considers Texas to be one of his favorite tracks. It should be a good race for the Aflac team.”
