ADVANCE NOTES
· Daytona Recap
o After rain cancelled night racing at Daytona International Speedway, Carl Edwards hit the two-and-a-half mile track Sunday morning, starting in the 11th-spot. The No.99 Subway Ford Fusion was running with a tight pack in three-wide formation and was caught up in a 16-car pileup on lap 20. The team worked hard in the garage to reassemble the mangled machine and the Roush Fenway driver would come back out, 45 laps down, to finish the day in 37th.

Edwards on New Hampshire:
“New Hampshire is home of the Boston Red Sox and Fenway Sports Group, so there would be nothing that would make those at Roush Fenway prouder than winning a race at New Hampshire. It is a fun race track and is deceivingly simple, but the one-mile oval is pretty treacherous especially into turn 3. There are some bumps and its flat and unforgiving if you overdrive the corner. We haven’t had much luck there lately but our short track program has been very good over the past year-and-a-half or so, so hopefully we can get a good run there in our Fastenal Ford. At this point we have nothing to lose so we will just go for the win.”
