QUOTES
Carl Edwards on racing at Atlanta Motor Speedway: “ Atlanta is always really special to me and to our team since I got my first Nationwide win there. We have run well there and had a lot of really great days there. Atlanta will be a lot of fun and I am looking forward to that one. Hopefully we can get this Fastenal Ford back to victory lane. That would be great.”
Crew chief Mike Beam on racing at Atlanta Motor Speedway: “We have had a lot of success at mile-and-a-half tracks so far this year so I’m eager to get to Atlanta. We focus on making sure that our car isn’t loose on entry into the turns because Atlanta is high banked and fast. We are bringing the same chassis that we won with in Nashville so hopefully we can get this No. 60 Fastenal Ford back to victory lane.”
