QUOTES Carl Edwards on racing at Phoenix International Raceway:
“I am really looking forward to going to Phoenix after our win there in October. Phoenix is an excellent track for us and we have had a lot of success there. We had a tough weekend in Daytona but we had a very competitive Mustang and my guys did an awesome job. Our goal is to go into Phoenix and grab the last win on the old racing surface before they put down the new pavement. We are going to put our Ford Mustang in Victory Lane.”
Crew chief Mike Beam on racing at Phoenix International Raceway:
“Carl won the race in Phoenix last fall. After last week in Daytona, we are looking to turn things around this weekend. Carl dominates Phoenix so with accurate pit stops we should have the perfect combination to help get us into victory lane Saturday.”
