QUOTES

Carl Edwards on racing at Kansas Speedway:

“I absolutely love Kansas Speedway. It’s not far from my hometown and I will have several of my family and friends there. It’s a track I really want to win at. Our Fastenal team has been on a roll and we are coming off a strong win at Dover. I love the mile and a half speedways. Kansas Speedway is exactly what this Fastenal team needs for the owners points. We have five races left and we want to gain as many points as possible and make it count. These last races are at very good tracks and we will make it exciting for the fans!”

Crew chief Mike Beam on racing at Kansas Speedway:

“We are coming off a dominating win at Dover so we are going to carry that momentum to Kansas. Our mile-and-a-half program has been superb this year. Our goal is to stay up front, have fast pit-stops and get this No. 60 Fastenal Ford back to victory lane for the eighth time this season.”
