Edwards on Charlotte:
“It’s the longest race of the year. We had a great run in the All-Star Race, and if my pit crew performs like they did last week then we are guaranteed to run well. It was a spectacular performance. This is a big weekend for Fastenal with three Fastenal Fords. We have 630 Fastenal veterans on the hood, including Randy Fuller, which is really cool. We are supporting our troops. Fastenal is doing something that is second to none in the garage by sponsoring three cars and making it a tribute to our armed forces. Hopefully it is a great Memorial Day weekend for everyone and we get our first six hundred mile victory. I’d say a Coke in victory lane here would probably be the best Coke I’ve ever had.”
