car crown design excited exciting exploding exposure found future grateful interest popularity racing silver spark time venues verge
I'm excited about the future of the Silver Crown Series. I think the new car design and the new venues they will be racing at will really spark a new found interest in the series. It's really an exciting time because I think they are on the verge of exploding in popularity and exposure and I'm just grateful to be a part of that.
awesome believe cup driven excited glad means number start zero
I'm really excited about getting my 50th start. I read that the other day, and I can't believe that I will have driven 50 Nextel Cup races; I didn't ever think I'd get to drive one. It's just awesome and it means the world to me. I am really glad to be a part of the sport at this level. Hopefully, there is another zero after that start number before I quit.
great house laughed somebody
I laughed and I scraped it off. Then I thought that would be a great idea, to get somebody to go to everybody's house and write 'Go Carl Edwards, No. 99.'

I just can't wait, ... It will be so awesome. I have wanted to fly in a fighter jet my whole life.
absence assured current evolve extremely fair future knowing means practice price public scrutiny system taxpayer whether work
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.
beginning cup eighth expect far goal happy million points pole primary race reasons sitting somebody until week whoever year
If you would have told me at the beginning of the year we'd have two Cup wins, a pole and be sitting eighth in points so far with one race to go until the 'Chase' I'd have said, 'Man, you've got somebody else'. I just didn't expect our year to go this well. Our primary goal this week is to make the 'Chase'. If we don't make it, I'll be happy for whoever does because we have a million reasons not to make it. But we really want to make it and I think we can.
million nobody picked start top
I never thought in a million years we'd be in the top 10 of this deal. Nobody would have picked us to be here at the start of the year.
harder help might none sacrifice
In a way, it might make it harder to do things for one another that could help each other on the track. None of us want to sacrifice anything.

I'm looking forward to racing at Pevely. I think there are several other Cup drivers going like Dave Blaney and Casey Mears so I'm sure we'll have a lot of fun putting on a great show for the fans and at the same time raising money for charity.

The Fusion really feels like our cars last year, and when they were good last year, they were easy to drive.

The car was pretty stout, ... That was pretty darn close to a perfect lap.

The Hispanic population in the United States is one of the fastest growing demographics. It's a huge group of people that we can introduce to the sport. If they can enjoy it, it's better for all of us.
