After an exciting race of ups and downs, Carl Edwards finally captured his 3rd Nationwide Series win in the Carfax 250 on Saturday. His win at the Michigan International Speedway should prove vital in his points standings…
As dictated from the interview Carl states…
“It’s not easy at all. You know Tony Stewart with his car and Brian Vickers is very fast, it’s just pretty awesome man to win a race with, you know right here in Ford Motor Company’s backyard, you know in Jack Roush’s backyard, to win it for Planter’s Peanuts, they’re only on the car one time and they got a win that’s pretty cool.”
“I was a little nervous that we were gonna get a caution just because you know those guys were racing so hard. You know all over the track, everyone was racing really hard. We were lucky that the caution didn’t come out. We’ve been really close to winning here before in this series and had to go through a green-white-checkered and it didn’t work out that day so, it’s very cool to win this race. But pit road, you know coming off of pit road first was obviously the key, I mean you know Tony was so fast that it would have been a lot different race if he’d have come off of pit road where he came on.”
In a turn of events, Tony Stewart took 3rd place as Brain Vickers snatched a second place victory from his grasp. Brian had this to say…
“It was tough to get by those guys, I mean they were running us hard and you know they had a good car as well. We were better on top on old tires than we were on the bottom and that’s how he got by us the first time, then once I got up top and the tires were old enough we got back down.”
All in all the race was an exciting event. In the future, though, you can be sure to see Tony Stewart looking to redeem himself having narrowly had the lead held out of his grasp.
