Edwards on Martinsville:
“We are going into Martinsville as the points leader, which is huge. The Fords have been really strong, and we are hoping to turn a corner at Martinsville. We’ve always had a little bit of trouble there. We have struggled at Martinsville, it’s a tough place. It looks like there might be a little bit of weather there on Friday. We are in the best position we can be if it does happen to rain out qualifying, being in the points lead. Overall, it is nice to go there with a win and to be in the points lead because we can go and have some fun. That place really is fun when the car is good. It’s a crazy race track, the fans fill it up because they know it’s a wild race. The last restart is always insane. At this point, the way that the season is going, anything can happen. A clock would be nice. I’d like it because I need a win at Martinsville, everybody else would like it because I’m always late.”
