QUOTES
Carl Edwards on racing at Texas Motor Speedway:
“I am really looking forward to returning to Texas Motor Speedway with Eddie Gossage and the guys. We won the earlier Nationwide race and we are closing in on the owners’ points lead. I love racing there and the fans are great. Our goal is to gain as many points as possible and get our Fastenal Ford Mustang in victory lane.”
Crew chief Mike Beam on racing at Texas Motor Speedway:
“We won there in the spring so we will carry that knowledge into this race. We have had a lot of success on the mile-and-a-half tracks so far this year. With the proper adjustments and flawless pit stops, we should be able to get this Fastenal Ford Mustang back in victory lane and sweep the 2011 Nationwide races at Texas.”
