Carl Edwards did all he had to do to postpone Kyle Busch’s opportunity to clinch the Nationwide Series until next week by winning Saturday’s Able Body Labor 200 at Phoenix International Raceway.

Edwards led the most laps with 109 and easily beat second-place Kevin Harvick at the finish by 2.415 seconds to cut Busch’s lead to 190 points. MiamiHerald.com

Busch’s first NASCAR championship is still a near-certainty—he only needs to start next week’s race at Homestead-Miami Speedway to grab the title.

But early problems Saturday spoiled Busch’s bid to get it out of the way. He spun his Toyota eight laps into the race, suffered heavy damage when he hit the wall, and had to battle to a ninth-place finish. Memphis Commercial Appeal

Reed Sorenson ran third in Todd Braun’s No. 32 Toyota, followed by Clint Bowyer and Keselowski.
