QUOTE WORTHY
Edwards quotes on the Hollywood Casino 400
“Kansas is as big as it gets for me. To be able to compete on that race track in front of so many people that have helped and still support me in my career, it’s personally a very important race track on the schedule. We’ve had some great races there; this spring, I’d say Ricky was the fastest car late in the race, so we know our Roush Fenway Fords can do well there and off of our terrible luck at Dover, it couldn’t be a better race track to go to. I’m very excited and now that our position in points is what it is, there’s really nothing to do but let it all hang out and go for the win. We gotta make something happen now.”
