Coughlin admitted a strong run by Edwards in the first round caught their eye; that and the weather.

"We got a little too aggressive for what the track could hold and just shook the tires," Coughlin said. "You know Mike's going to be tough and he posted low elapsed time of the first round so we were getting after it. The track needed just a little more rubber and bite. Hat's off to Mike, though, he got it down through there."
