News and Notes
Jul 16
This week: Edwards, who has three wins, seven top-fives and 13 top-10 finishes in the first 19 contests this season, will race in the Nationwide Series event. "It's going to be great racing at Gateway," Edwards said. "I consider it my home track, and I will have a lot of family and friends there. I won a race there a few years ago, and it was one of my greatest accomplishments. Save-A-Lot's headquarters are nearby, so I am going to try my best to get them into victory lane this weekend."
Last week: Edwards had a disappointing 32nd-place effort at Chicagoland.
Etc.: Edwards is concerned about the bonus points Busch is racking up for victories, points that will give him sizeable lead when the Chase begins. "He's going to be tough to beat, regardless of whether he has those points, but if you give him a head start, that's not good," Edwards said. "I'm really focused on winning races right now. We're almost to the point where, knock on wood, we can count ourselves in the Chase. And, once that's done, nothing else matters. Winning is all that matters right now."
