Edwards on Fontana:
“We are going to Auto Club Speedway which is one of my favorite race tracks. We are just coming off a win in Bristol which is a huge, huge weight off our shoulders. We know that we are virtually locked into the Chase, and we can go to all of these race tracks, starting with Auto Club Speedway, and go for wins and have some fun with a lot less pressure. We can really prepare for the Chase. Jimmy Fennig and all of the guys are working hard. There’s a lot of energy in the shop and everyone is excited. Last year’s race was amazing, it was a blast. We had a shot to win it and I had a lot of fun so hopefully we can have another great race there.”
