Edwards on racing at Atlanta Motor Speedway:“Atlanta is one of my favorite tracks to race. It’s a really fun track and I get excited just driving through the tunnel to get inside – I can’t wait to get there and race. The biggest day of my racing career came at Atlanta Motor Speedway, when I got my first Cup win. It’s a moment I know I’ll never forget. This weekend is going to be a lot fun for the Office Depot team.”
Crew Chief Bob Osborne on racing at Atlanta Motor Speedway: “Atlanta is a great track for Carl and the Office Depot team. It really suits Carl’s driving style and we’ve done very well there in the past. The Office Depot Ford we are bringing to Atlanta is the same one that Carl drove to Victory Lane at Atlanta and Pocono in back in 2005. I am confident in our team and driver and we should have a good showing this weekend.”
Sam’s Town 250 - Carl Edwards Notes
Carl Edwards NASCAR Busch Series: Sam's Town 250 Saturday October 27 3:00 PM Eastern – ESPN2/MRN
Carl Edwards Team: No. 60 Scotts Winterguard Ford Fusion Crew Chief: Pierre Kuettel (P.K.) Chassis Number: RK-357 Last Ran at Gateway; finished 6th
Edwards on racing at Memphis Motorsports Park: “Memphis is our last split weekend. We had a great race there last year starting from the rear. I won’t get to practice or qualifying the car, but we’ll have Matt (McCall) back with us and he did a real good job setting up the car earlier this year. My Scotts team has done a fantastic job this year and we have a great shot to lock in the championship there. That would be a major milestone in my career.”
Crew Chief Pierre Kuettel on racing at Memphis Motorsports Park: “Well, the team is coming off a down weekend, which was great. We only have four races left and this Scotts Winterguard team is determined to make the most of them. We have a good shot to lock in the driver’s championship in Memphis. We have Matt McCall back practicing and qualifying the car for us. Carl will show up right before the race and start from the rear. It should make for a very exciting race for everybody.”
Glad to see another Gong show driver getting some time in one of the cars, even if it is just to practice it.
