Carl Edwards on racing at Dover International Speedway: “Last weekend at Charlotte all the Roush Fenway Fords ran strong and there couldn’t be a better track for us to head to right now than Dover. We need a win and we’ve had plenty of great runs at Dover before so I know we can do it."

Biffle on racing at Dover International Speedway: “Dover is a track the Roush Fenway cars have run well at and a place I’ve had some success at. As a driver, you have to be on your toes at Dover. You want your car to be a little loose, but at the same time, it can’t be too loose. I have high expectations for this weekend.”

Kenseth on racing at Dover International Speedway: “Dover is my favorite track on the Sprint Cup circuit, and it’s been a place where we’ve had a lot of success at as well, so I just love racing there."

Last Sunday night at Charlotte, Gordon collected his 399th career top-10 finish. Only four other drivers have more: Richard Petty (712), Bobby Allison (446), Mark Martin (442) and Dale Earnhardt (428). For Gordon to secure another top 10 - and an 86th career victory - in the FedEx 400.
