Edwards quotes on the AdvoCare 500
“We had a great run last week at Bristol, it was a lot of fun and we’re looking forward to going and getting a win at Atlanta. We tested there, it went very well; it’s one of my favorite race tracks and I’ve got a lot of great memories from there. It’s a Subway weekend so we will be well fed at least, and hopefully we can get Subway another victory. We’ve got two more races before the chase starts so we’re just having fun and going for wins.”
