Carl Edwards put on a dominating performance to win Saturday’s One Main Financial 200 Nationwide Series race at Dover International Speedway.
Edwards, from Columbia, led a staggering 179 of 200 laps in his Ford Mustang and won his seventh Nationwide Series of the season, 35th of his career and third at Dover, including both races this season,
Edwards, who has earned the nickname “Concrete Carl” for his success at Dover, easily outdistanced second-place Brad Keselowski and third-place Clint Bowyer of Emporia, Kan.
Kasey Kahne finished fourth, one spot ahead of series leader Ricky Stenhouse Jr., who extended his margin to 22 points over pole-sitter Elliott Sadler, who ran 14th. There are five races left in the season.
Stenhouse, who drives for Roush, is anxious for that championship.
“We’ve got a race team that is pretty determined to win this thing,” he said.
Roush said “it’s not much fun” for Stenhouse down the stretch because of the conservative style he needs over the final races to maintain his lead. Roush said sponsorship money remains tight, but there was a chance Stenhouse could get some Cup time next season.
