Carl Edwards New Hampshire Fast Facts

Carl Edwards – NSCS NEW HAMPSHIRE ADVANCE

Team: No. 99 Scotts Winterguard Ford Fusion

Crew Chief: Bob Osborne

Chassis: RK-782 Last ran at Loudon in July, finished 13th

Carl Edwards on racing at New Hampshire Motor Speedway:

“We ran really well at Richmond so I’m pretty excited about racing at New Hampshire. I was nervous about it until that Richmond run. Hopefully we can run that well at New Hampshire. If we were to win there it would be huge for Roush Fenway, for the Chase and for me personally to win a Cup race at one of my toughest tracks.”

Crew chief Bob Osborne on racing at New Hampshire Motor Speedway:

“New Hampshire is a challenging track and the race often comes down to fuel mileage. Carl runs well there, although our results don’t always show that. We worked on a few things during the race there in July to prepare for this Chase race, so hopefully we will be able to capitalize now on our work a few months ago.”
