Carl Edwards Lap Quotations

I was just impressed that his first lap was four-tenths (of a second) quicker than anybody else, and his second lap was even quicker,

The pole is great and all that, ... but the car is so good it would have been foolish to come out here in cool temperatures ... and lay it on the line the first lap and have a wreck.

We had a really good test there a few weeks ago. It reminds me of Pocono a little bit. When we tested there Kurt (Busch) was there as well so I asked him a ton of questions and he helped me a lot. I think there are a lot of places to pick up speed which is neat. We ran the fastest lap time that day which was cool. I'm really optimistic about our chances there.

We had a broken right-front shock (absorber) from Lap 50 or something and it was all I could do to get it into the corner,

I've learned a lot about New Hampshire over the last couple of races, ... It's flat and fast and I think I'm improving with every lap that I run there.We accomplished making the 'Chase' but now it's time to focus on going after the championship. We have a great team and great race cars so if we can run consistently up front I don't think there's any reason why we couldn't be in contention for the big prize.

I don't think I ran one lap as hard as I could. That's just the way we had to race.
