Edwards on racing at Darlington Raceway:
"Darlington is my favorite track. It has a lot of history, but also has a personality of its own. There's a reason they call the track 'too tough to tame'. It's a super fast track, but has a unique shape. They have a new surface and I hope that doesn't take any of the fun or mystique away. I was at Darlington Raceway with David Pearson a few weeks ago and he showed me a few ideas about how to go faster at that track. It will be another night race and I would love to collect a victory there with Scotts."
Crew Chief Pierre Kuettel (P.K.) on racing at Darlington Raceway:
"We are excited about taking the Scotts Water Smart Ford Fusion to Darlington Raceway. We have had some close calls at Darlington. Carl almost qualified on the pole in 2006, but he brushed the wall on his second qualifying lap causing some minor damage. We didn't want to take a chance with the damage so we fixed it and had to start in the back. We still managed to secure a top-10 finish. Last year we got a top-five, so we are getting closer. Darlington is a fast track that is going to be extremely tough to tame this year because of the new surface. I am confident we can challenge for a win this time around."
