QUOTE WORTHY
Edwards quotes on the AdvoCare 500:
“In the spring race at Phoenix, the biggest thing that helped us was our pit crew. We had awesome pit stops and kept coming out three or four spots ahead of where we were running and that ultimately is what won us the race. Between the spring and fall races at Phoenix, so much happens and so many guys figure things out with the cars that, to me, I would say it’s a pretty big change. But I know we are looking forward to repeating our win at PIR, and putting Fastenal in victory lane.”
