QUOTES
Carl Edwards on racing at Auto Club Speedway:
“Racing in the Nationwide Series at California is always fun. We’ve won there before and with the way that the track changes you can run many different lines throughout the race. I believe that running the Nationwide Series race will really help me Sunday for the Cup race. Mike Beam and I have talked this week and we have a strategy in place that should work well to get our Copart Ford into victory lane.”
Crew chief Mike Beam on racing at Auto Club Speedway:
“Carl really enjoys running at California. Having raced here earlier this season, we should be able to take what we learned and have a better run. Precision in the pits will be very important for the team to stay competitive and run up front. He has a strong average finish at this track and we hope to improve on that average with a win.”
