From the Cockpit:
Carl Edwards: “Alright we get to head to one of my favorite race tracks, Atlanta. It’s a fast place. I like to go to Atlanta for a number of reasons, but number one is it’s just a fun race track. But really for me, it’s a special place because of that weekend in 2005 winning the XFINITY race on Saturday as well as the Sprint Cup race on Sunday. It changed my whole career. We’ve got ARRIS on board this weekend and Atlanta is where ARRIS is based. It was really cool last week at Daytona and we had a great run. We want to continue that. We feel like this is an opportunity to go get a victory and lock ourselves into the Chase early on.”
From the Pit Box:
Darian Grubb: “Atlanta’s a unique race track with a really old worn-out surface, which makes it a lot of fun to derive the handling characteristics for the race car. Now we’re going with a new engine package and some different tires, so it’s gonna be interesting to go back down and feel all that out. We’re hoping to get a little time on the test day to iron things out with Carl on our intermediate program. I’m looking forward to getting there and hopefully showing what kind of speed we’ve got.”
