QUOTE WORTHY
Edwards quotes on the Camping World RV Sales 500
“We ran really well at Talladega in the spring. We were leading when it started raining and we were leading at the white flag, and we feel like we’ve made huge gains with our restrictor plate program. This is a race that we can go win and climb up some positions in the standings. It’s also a wildcard race in the Chase where anything can happen and I really believe after this race you’re going to see who the Championship contenders are. Hopefully we can get up there and get close enough to still have a shot at this. It’s a big race for Subway; we’ve always had a lot of fun with the Subway guys and hopefully we can have the same luck that we had with the Subway car earlier this year.”
