Carl Edwards on racing at Martinsville:
“Martinsville is a track that I’ve really had a tough time at over the years. It’s probably one of the toughest tracks for me in the Cup car, but I’m still really looking forward to the race. Track position is so important at Martinsville and in Car of Tomorrow races, if we can have a decent qualifying run in the Office Depot Ford I think we can race well there. We haven’t had a good Cup race there yet, but we’ve got a great Car of Tomorrow program, so it should be good. A lot can happen in 500 laps and at Martinsville things like pit strategy and tire management can make or break you. Hopefully things will fall into place and our Office Depot team will continue to make strides towards the Championship. “
Crew Chief Bob Osborne on racing at Martinsville:
“Martinsville is a difficult track. I would say it’s one of the tracks we’ve struggled the most with. But, it’s a Car of Tomorrow race and the Office Depot team has had a lot of success recently in our Car of Tomorrow program, so hopefully this weekend will be no exception. Qualifying will be key, because it’s so hard to pass in the Car of Tomorrow and at a short-track like Martinsville once can easily be lapped. This will be a tough track for us but I feel confident in our team and driver and am looking forward to a strong finish. “
