PCGCampbell For Ford Racing, Press Release

Greg Biffle, driver of the No. 16 3M Ford Fusion, and Carl Edwards, driver of the No. 99 Office Depot Ford Fusion, have combined for 21 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series victories. As the schedule shifts back east for this weekend's Kobalt Tools 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway, both drivers talk about why the track is so popular among competitors and fans.

GREG BIFFLE - No. 16 3M Ford Fusion --

ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO ATLANTA?

"Yeah. Atlanta is a fun place to race. It's almost like Michigan or one of those other places. The track surface is abrasive and the tires wear and the cars slow down a second or two, and that makes really good racing. It makes tire management an issue. It makes car control an issue and it puts on a good, good race. We hope that more of our race tracks get looking like that because they put on fantastic races."

IS THAT A TRACK THAT PUTS DRIVING BACK IN YOUR HANDS?

"A little bit. You definitely have to have a car handling well and balanced to be able to strut your stuff. It's a little bit more of a driver-oriented race track."

CARL EDWARDS - No. 99 Office Depot Ford Fusion --

ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO ATLANTA?

"Atlanta is fun. I love Atlanta for all the reasons - me winning there. That weekend was unbelievable. It really got our whole Cup program going and I think it's gonna be good. We were terrible in our test, so, hopefully, we're better but we were terrible. Kyle Busch was head and shoulders faster than anybody there, so I hope we've caught up to him."

DO YOU LIKE HAVING THAT LANE BUFFET WHERE YOU CAN GO FROM BOTTOM TO TOP AT THAT TRACK?

"I just think everyone feels comfortable at Atlanta. Everybody is familiar with exactly where to run and how the lanes all work. I've never heard the term lane buffet, but I'm gonna use that one. You kind of choose whatever you want there. It's pretty fun. With the way these cars drive, it seems like they run pretty well and kind of open up lanes at every track. You can kind of run all over the place with them, so Atlanta is gonna be fun."
