From the Cockpit:
Carl Edwards: “Alright, it’s New Hampshire. It’s been kind of a hit and miss track for me finish wise throughout my career, but we’ve had some really good runs, and last year we were really fast there. I’m excited to go back with our Sport Clips Camry. The race track is deceptively difficult. It’s a pretty technical track. It really requires on the edge driving the whole time. You’ve got to communicate with your crew chief well to get the car tuned right. When it’s good, it’s good. When it’s bad, it is a frustrating place. So hopefully we can manage it well. Another fun thing for me about New Hampshire is that I’ve got a lot of friends up there. All the folks from Dick Berggren’s Speedway Illustrated, I’ll get to hang out with them. A little bit of short track racing and then hopefully we can cap the day off with a lobster dinner. That would be nice. I also got to spend a little time up in the area in Boston. Got a tour of the USS Constitution, and spent a little time with the folks from the track and some fans. Overall I’m excited to be back. Hopefully we can get to Victory Lane for the first time in a Cup car this weekend. After our second place run last week, that would be great.”
From the Pit Box:
Dave Rogers: “New Hampshire is a special place to me – I can remember sitting in the stands watching Joe Nemechek and Dale Earnhardt battle side by side in 1992 Xfinity race. I was 18 years old and so desperately wanted to be in the infield instead of in the grandstands. I think of those days every time I return to that speedway and I realize how Blessed and fortunate I am to realize that childhood dream. I return to my “home track” this year with Carl Edwards and the #19 SportClips team. Carl and I have both been part of race winning teams at the Xfinity level in New Hampshire, but neither of us have picked up that big lobster on Sunday. This entire team is motivated to change that this weekend.”
