Carl Edwards Work Quotations

It was a gamble. Everything has to work just out just right in those kinds of situations. I needed another few laps. I wish we had another caution with five laps to go.

It doesn't matter how he runs the first part of the race, he always runs up front and I think that's because he works on his stuff. So that's someone I'm trying to emulate there.

Whatever it is your doing out there, don't lose hope, you just keep digging and things can work out. I'm proof.

It will be great to be back in Charlotte this weekend. It's always good to race close to home. We had a disappointing race there earlier this season and we know that we can run well there. They have a new surface on the track and that will make the track very fast and I like fast. That will be awesome and work to our advantage. The team plans on focusing on a top five finish and hopefully shake off some of this bad luck we have been experiencing. We have a great team and we plan on showing that at Lowe's.

This Fusion, they have put a lot of work into it and no one will let something happen that we don't want to happen without someone voicing our opinion. Speculation is a pretty big thing.

It's extremely disappointing. It's not how we wanted to start our season, but we'll just have to work harder.

In the long haul, the absence of any public scrutiny means the practice in the future could evolve into one that is an extremely uncompetitive, behind-the-scenes give away of work with the taxpayer not knowing whether a fair price is being paid. The current system may have flaws, but at least the public is assured of a competitive price.
