QUOTES
Carl Edwards on racing at Charlotte Motor Speedway:
“Our Fastenal team is very excited to race at Charlotte Motor Speedway this weekend under the lights. It’s always great for the team to race at home in front of their family and friends. We have been running really well and we have closed the owner’s championship to only 7 points. Our goal is to take over the lead and put our Fastenal Mustang in Victory Lane.”
Crew chief Mike Beam on racing at Charlotte Motor Speedway:
“We always love racing at Charlotte in our hometown. We are bringing the same chassis that we won with in Nashville. This track is super fast. The setup will be completely different than when we raced here in the spring because the temperature will be much cooler. I feel confident that we can get this No. 60 Fastenal Ford back to victory lane for the eighth time this season.”
