Texas II: Ford teams Happy Hour quotes, notes

Happy Hour was indeed happy from a Ford Racing standpoint as four Ford teams found themselves in the top six spots on the speed chart. Carl Edwards (2nd), Greg Biffle (4th), Bill Elliott (5th) and David Ragan (6th) all were among the leaders.

CARL EDWARDS -- No. 99 Aflac Ford Fusion

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT TOMORROW? "The car is good. That's the fastest we've been in a long time, so we'll see how it goes. It's 500 miles and there will be a lot of things that change throughout the race, but it feels nice. We've got a good starting spot and a fast race car, so that's big."

WHAT KIND OF RACE TO YOU SEE TOMORROW? "You've just got to race hard the whole time. That's all we can do. The guy that wins this thing is gonna have to race hard the whole time."

DAVID RAGAN -- No. 6 UPS Ford Fusion

"I think our UPS Ford is pretty fast. It's got potential to be a top five or top 10 car, and it's all about making those right decisions. We changed so much in practice. In one run I'm pretty happy and the run right after that I can't even drive the car, so it's all about making the right decisions on chassis changes during the race. We've got a car that can do it, it's just a matter of making good calls."
