David Gilliland, driver of the No. 38 Long John Silver's Ford, comments on racing at Talladega Superspeedway:

A second week of late race strategy calls by crew chief Jimmy Fennig puts Edwards and the No. 99 Fastenal team in their best position of the 334-lap race. On lap 327 the eighth caution flag flew and Fennig advised Edwards to stay out and he moved from 16th up to ninth on the 1.5-mile oval. Edwards battled through the restart and green-white-checkered finish for a very important eighth place finish and his 13th top-10 of the season at Charlotte Motor Speedway and is now fifth in the Sprint Cup Chase Points.
