Edwards on Homestead-Miami
“Even though our run at the Championship is over, I am really looking forward to Homestead. It has been a great race track for us. I love racing there. It’s Ford Championship Week and I want to get a win for Jack Roush and Jimmy Fennig and all of my guys, because they have worked so hard this year. They did the impossible. We made the Chase and we have two wins. We held on for nine races of the Chase with a shot of winning the championship. I am really proud of every one of them. I want to give the performance to finish the season the way that everyone deserves. That’s what I am going to do. Jimmy and I have talked and he is as fired up as ever and hopefully we can go and do a good job.”
