Carl Edwards Infineon Raceway Preview

Here is another race preview of a Ford Racing team.

Carl Edwards, driver of the No. 99 Office Depot Ford Fusion for Roush Fenway Racing (RFR) team is now heading for Sonoma, California to compete in the Infineon Raceway Sears Point. Edwards is also Matt Kenseth's teammate.

"Bob Osborne and the rest of the Office Depot team have been doing a lot to help improve our road course program. We recently tested Road Atlanta to get in some practice on a road course and I think it has helped. I don't come from that kind of racing background, but getting a few races under our belts has helped a lot." said Edwards.

"After our win last week at Michigan, our team is a lot more confident and we're looking to build on this momentum." he added.

"Carl's only raced Sonoma twice, but has managed to pull off some pretty solid finishes there. We tested Road Atlanta a couple of weeks ago and were able to gather a lot of really good information, so hopefully we'll have a competitive car come Sunday. I am so proud of the hard work this Office Depot team has been doing over the past several weeks -- it's really paying off. Our win last week at Michigan was just what we needed to build momentum for the rest of the season."
