Carl Edwards passed Clint Bowyer for the lead through Turns 1 and 2 on Lap 223 at the .75-mile track and retained the top spot through three subsequent cautions to win his fourth Nationwide race of the season and the 17th of his career.

With Bowyer’s Chevrolet getting loose in the closing laps, Scott Wimmer passed his Richard Childress Racing teammate for the second position on Lap 225 and trailed Edwards across the finish line by 1.552 seconds.

Bowyer held the third position, and Denny Hamlin and David Ragan ran fourth and fifth, respectively.


“Clint was doing such a good job and he was just a little free and he was hanging on for all it was worth and he just wiggled that one time and that’s all I needed,” Edwards said.

It was the only time Bowyer was passed for the lead, and the only one that counted.

“I just got too loose, but I’m not going to let that ruin my day,” Bowyer said. “I had a good day, but that was a bummer. It just shows you how close it is — one little slip-up.”

Bowyer said of not being able to hold the lead: “It (stinks), but it is what it is.”

Brad Keselowski, who started the night in second place, 204 points behind Bowyer, had a much worse night than Bowyer. He finished 21st and dropped 279 points behind Bowyer in the standings.
