Carl Edwards on racing at Phoenix International Raceway:
“I am excited to go to Phoenix; I like Phoenix a lot. It is the first place that I raced on pavement back in 2001, when I went and raced in the USAC Silver Crown race. I loaded up everything I owned in a pickup truck that I borrowed from one of my buddies and headed out to Phoenix. It was pretty cool – a very monumental experience and a turning point in my career. ”
“Since then I’ve been back to Phoenix a number of times and enjoyed racing there every time. My (NASCAR) Busch Series win there was a great win for me and we’ve run really well there in the Cup car. My Office Depot team has a great Car of Tomorrow program, especially on the short tracks and I am looking forward to a great race this weekend. ”
Crew Chief Bob Osborne on racing at Phoenix International Raceway:
“I’m looking forward to Phoenix. Carl has had a lot of success there – in everything he’s raced and I don’t see why this weekend will be any exception. Our Office Depot team has made tremendous gains in our Car of Tomorrow program since the first Phoenix race this year and I’m really excited to go back. Last week at Texas we had some bad luck with a sway bar malfunction, but hopefully all of that is behind us and we can get a solid top five this weekend. ”
