Carl Edwards tested the durability limits of his No. 60 Ford on Friday night at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Rebounding from hard contact with the wall early in the Dollar General 300, Edwards held off Kyle Busch on a five-lap green-flag run to the finish to win his eighth Nationwide Series race of the season and the 37th of his career.
Busch came home second followed by Trevor Bayne and Elliott Sadler, who claimed the final $100,000 Nationwide Insurance Dash4Cash bonus and cut the series lead of ninth-place finisher Ricky Stenhouse Jr. to 15 points. NASCAR.com
“Just unbelievable,” Edwards said. “I thought Brad had it, and then I thought at the end that Kyle was going to get me. He has the ability to turn it on at the end. He raced me really clean, and I appreciated that.”
“It was a great night for us,” Sadler said. “We gained some points, and winning the $100,000 was cool.”
The series will take the next two weeks off before resuming its schedule on November 5 at Texas. MiamiHerald.com
