Michigan: Carl Edwards NASCAR Sprint Cup Race Quotes - P4
CARL EDWARDS – No. 99 Aflac Ford Fusion (finished 4th)
IT WAS A FUEL-MILEAGE FINISH, AND YOU OBVIOUSLY HAD ENOUGH TO MAKE IT TO THE END. “Ford gets the best fuel mileage out there anywhere in the world. Greg [Biffle] was just racing his heart out, you know. It’s good to see Mark [Martin] win a race. He’s a good friend of mine. But, man, it’s a heartbreaker to see Greg lose that thing. He did everything right. Our Aflac team performed well. It was a good, solid points day. We didn’t run quite as well as we wanted to, but I’m just glad to see all these fans out here enjoying the sport – and Aflac, Ford, Subway, all my sponsors, I appreciate it.”

MORE ON THE FINISH. “Fords get the best fuel mileage in the world on the street, and we can usually do it here at the race track. Greg was just racing so hard, and, man, I wanted to have a Ford in Victory Lane. I knew this Aflac Fusion wasn’t good enough, but we still got a good finish out of it. My guys did a good job and we’ve got something to build on.”
HOW CLOSE WERE YOU ON FUEL? “I don’t know how close we were. I shut it off so we could check, you know, but I’m sure we were good. We usually have pretty good fuel mileage with these Fords, but our Aflac Fusion was about an eighth-place car today, so to come home fourth is good. My heart just aches for Greg. He did a good job, and was just half a lap short.”
