Edwards on racing at Loudon:
"We had an awesome car at Loudon when we raced there in July. It was one of our better Car of Tomorrow races. We just had some trouble in the pits when we were leading and pitting under green, but everybody kept their composure and we were able to pull off a 13th-place finish. Our car should have been the race winner, so obviously I am eager to race Loudon again."
"My Office Depot team has improved so much this season and I am very proud of their work. We're making great strides with the Car of Tomorrow and I feel very confident heading into this weekend."
Crew Chief, Bob Osborne on racing at Loudon:
"After the disappointment of the last Loudon race, we definitely have something to prove this time around. We had an awesome, fast car that could have won the race, but unfortunately we had some issues on pit road. Since then, our team has made huge improvements and I'm so proud of their efforts."
"We're bringing back the same car from the first Loudon race. Hopefully we'll be able to put it in victory lane this weekend. Now that we're in the 'Chase' we are racing for wins and ultimately the championship. I am really looking forward to what's to come."
