CARL EDWARDS – No. 99 Fastenal Ford Fusion – WE HEARD IT WAS THE ENGINE. HOW MUCH WARNING DID YOU HAVE? “I didn’t have any warning. I’ve just got to thank all the guys. That’s the most fun I’ve had in a race car in a long time. Jimmy did a great job. The car was almost perfect and the engine ran awesome until it broke. We had great pit stops and I think we’ve got some good things to get forward to. This is what we needed, a race like this – with the engine aside – I think we were the dominant car here tonight. We’ve got some good races coming up.” WHAT HAPPENED? “We had a great car, probably the best car we’ve had in a long time. The pit crew was great. Our strategy was good. The restarts were great. The engine ran great until it blew up, so if we run like that the rest of the year it’s gonna be awesome. We’re gonna be good. We’re in a position right now we said we’d go for it. I’m sure that’s what Doug Yates and the guys did. They probably just made the most power they could, but it’s hard. I feel like we were in control of that race. We were gonna win that one.”
