CARL EDWARDS-60-World Financial Group Ford Fusion

DID YOU HAVE EQUIPMENT ISSUES ON YOUR QUALIFYING LAP? "I don't know, probably just an issue with my driving. But, we didn't tear it up, and that was what was good."

DID YOU HAVE A TIRE GOING DOWN ON YOUR WARM-UP LAP? "I don't know. I don't know if it was down before or after. It was down after, for sure, but I don't know."

WAS IT A CASE OF JUST GOING AFTER IT TOO HARD? "It was real, real tight. I think I just turned the wheel a little too far and stood on the gas too hard when I finally got it turned, but it definitely snapped around way quicker than I expected. I can't tell; it just got me."
