Carl Edwards on racing at Dover International Speedway:
“I’ve been looking forward to Dover for a while now. That’s a great race track for all of our Roush Fenway Fords. I love the race track, it’s a grueling race, qualifying is exciting and difficult, pit stops are tough, it’s just a really challenging race track. I look forward to hopefully having some of the success we’ve had there in the past.”
Crew Chief Chad Norris on racing at Dover International Speedway:
“Carl really enjoys racing at Dover and we could certainly use a good run right now. This one-mile track is very different from the one-mile of New Hampshire where we raced last weekend. It’s a challenging track and the car can change quite a bit throughout 400 miles there, but Carl has a much better record at Dover with the banking and concrete surface.”
