CARL EDWARDS – No. 99 Aflac Ford Fusion (Qualified 10th) – “That’s
good. Hopefully, that will be good for a top-10 spot. You never know
with that draw, but our Aflac car is fast and I’m just looking forward
to the races this weekend. I want to get this one over with and,
hopefully, we come out on top. We want to be in the chase more than
anything.”

HOW IS THE FOOT? “My foot is good. It’s better than my
arm pits from these crutches.”

BOBBY LABONTE – No. 96 Ask.com Ford Fusion (Qualified 37th) – “We were
a little too tight in the center. It felt like it had more grip. We
picked up a little bit, but we didn’t pick up as much as we should
have. It’s just been tight in the center and hasn’t felt like we’ve
picked up any speed.”

PAUL MENARD – No. 98 Menards Ford Fusion (Qualified 42nd) – “There was
a good amount of grip. The brakes were shaking really hard and really
bad. I kind of missed turn one and screwed up both laps that way, but
I’m really happy with it in race trim. We’ll see what we’ve got
tomorrow.”

GREG BIFFLE – No. 16 3M Ford Fusion (Qualified 24th) – “We’re gonna be
in the back, so it’s going to take us a while. We were just way too
tight and I don’t know why because it was a little bit loose in
practice qualifying. Normally, it’s loose here or it tends to loosen
up, but it was just too tight.”

DAVID RAGAN – No. 6 UPS Ford Fusion (Qualified 26th) – “Our cars are
OK. I wish they had a little more speed, but the cars drive pretty
good. I’m pretty happy with my UPS Ford. I wish we could have got a
little more speed, but it didn’t cool down as much as I thought it
would going out this late. We’ll obviously work on it. We’ve got
some good notes from practice and this has been one of our better
tracks the last couple of years, so I look forward to a good run on
Saturday night.”
