QUOTE WORTHY
Edwards quotes on the AAA 400
“We’ve had a pretty solid start to our Chase and we are hoping for great things at Dover. We’ve had a lot of success there as a team. Our group has worked very hard and we feel like both Greg and I made a pretty big breakthrough last week at New Hampshire with the way we ran there. This is grueling track, it’s a tough place, it’s very fast, it’s hard on equipment, it’s hard on the driver and hopefully we can run as well as we have historically here. We’d love to get in victory lane and close that gap on Matt Kenseth and those guys in the top three positions; they’ve done a great job so far. Eight races to go, a lot of racing left.”
