Edwards strong again until engine expires

Posted by on March 9th, 2008

Carl Edwards had no idea why all that smoke was pouring from the back of his race car. He just knew it had nothing to do with the lid on his oil tank.

That was right where it’s supposed to be.

At the end of a difficult week, Edwards made a strong bid for his third straight NASCAR Sprint Cup victory Sunday at Atlanta Motor Speedway. He was out front when something broke in the transmission with 51 laps to go, clearing the way for Kyle Busch to win the Kobalt Tools 500.
