QUOTES
Carl Edwards on racing at Chicagoland:
“I am excited to race Chicago. We are coming off of an awesome race at Daytona, where we got a great finish, helped a teammate win and gained some points. I think we have the potential to do really well this weekend. We are bringing the Michigan car, which is an amazing car and helped us get a win for Office Depot a few weeks ago. Even though, I haven’t had the best finishes in the past at Chicago, I feel confident that we’ll do great this weekend. “
Crew Chief Bob Osborne on racing at Chicagoland:
“I’m looking forward to getting back to the 1.5-mile tracks. Carl runs really well at those types of tracks so we are certainly hoping to have a strong finish and make gains in the point standings. Tracks like Chicago, Fontana and Kansas seem like cookie cutter type tracks but actually they all have their own unique characteristics so running at Chicago should make for some great racing. “
