Edwards on racing at Dover:

“We had a really good run at Dover back in June and since then we’ve made a lot of advances in our Car of Tomorrow program. I think this weekend will be great for the Office Depot team, if we can get the No. 99 handling well. In the spring we didn’t handle as well as we should have so I wasn’t able to catch the leaders. We have one ‘Chase’ race under our belt and we finished 12th in a back-up car with no practice. I think championships are defined by your bad days and if that’s a bad day for us, I think we have a chance at the championship. “

Crew Chief, Bob Osborne on racing at Dover:

“We had a pretty strong run at Dover back in June and since then we’ve continued to improve and that’s encouraging. I think with some fine tuning and more practice, we’ll be just fine. Dover is a really unique track. It’s different from any other track in that you drop off into the corner whereas at the other tracks you run up a hill into the corners. You have to have a brave driver to be fast at Dover. You have to have a driver that’s not worried about how he’s going to land when he drives off into the corner and I think we have that kind of driver in Carl Edwards. If we can improve on our third-place finish from June, I think we’ll be looking good in the point standings. “
