Carl Edwards Quotes |
| |
Carl Edwards: It’s disappointing that we didn’t make the race, but I am really happy that Sauter made it in there and Kenny Wallace and Martin Truex. They did a great job. My Office Depot Fusion was the tightest race car I’ve ever had. We tried some stuff and it did not work. It’s just so frustrating to have a lead like that and then just have the car get so tight, but that’s the way it goes. (About not making it into the Nextel All-Star Race) | Carl Edwards: Texas is one of my favorite tracks on the NASCAR Circuit. It's a place where you can carry a lot of speed, which makes for great racing. |
