[Etc.: Like many drivers, Edwards was happy just to survive at Lowe's.] To make it into the top 10 was OK, but we had a better car than that, ... We were just too tight and just destroying the tires. |
[With the exception of Kurt Busch , who was involved in an accident, Carl Edwards was the only Chase driver who didn't finish in the top eight at New Hampshire.] Today was pretty ugly, ... I'm not sure what was going on. |
A lot can happen in 500 laps and, at Martinsville, things like pit strategy and tire management can make or break you, ... This is definitely one of the bigger obstacles for us as a team in the 'Chase.' |

Four wins, man, I can't believe it. |
He's one of those of those people who gives so much to the sport and tries so hard, ... that you can't help but be happy for someone like that. |
