Carl Edwards on racing at Dover International Speedway:

“Last weekend at Charlotte all the Roush Fenway Fords ran strong and there couldn’t be a better track for us to head to right now than Dover.  We need a win and we’ve had plenty of great runs at Dover before so I know we can do it.  I love racing there, it’s a super high-speed track and we’ve always been able to get our cars dialed in well there.”

Crew Chief Bob Osborne on racing at Dover International Speedway:

“Dover is a difficult race track to drive and Carl really excels with cars that don’t necessarily handle well an entire race. It has a lot to do with getting the most out of what you have for a race car and he does that extremely well.  The whole Roush Fenway organization runs well at Dover so hopefully we can get a win and continue to work our way up in the point standings.”
