Edwards on Talladega:
“One thing about this weekend at Talladega is that qualifying is going to be exciting. If I weren’t in it, I would tune in to watch because it will be entertainment. Jimmy and I have discussed this and know it will be three rounds of instant insanity. I have a feeling that it might be more dangerous than the race from a standpoint of tearing the race cars up. I really don’t know what to expect. I am glad that we are in the position we are in with points and a win going into this weekend. It’s going to be interesting. Our plan is to go for it and put our Fastenal Ford Fusion into Victory Lane.”
