Edwards on racing at Kansas:
"I'm really excited to race at Kansas this week. It's my hometown track so it will be neat having so many family and friends there. I think we have a really good Office Depot car for this weekend. Kansas is a really fun track to drive and I think we'll be able to have a good run there. We are coming off a great win at Dover and with that momentum in the 'Chase' the entire Office Depot team is really pumped and looking forward to going racing at the kind of track where we've been successful in the past."
Crew Chief, Bob Osborne on racing at Kansas:
"I'm really looking forward to racing Kansas. I like intermediate tracks a whole lot and feel like our Office Depot team has what it takes to be really successful there this weekend. The 'Chase' is shaping up to be very exciting, hopefully the No. 99 team can continue to build on the momentum from our Dover win and make strides towards the Championship."
