A third-place finish this past Monday at Watkins Glen International. …
A sixth-place spot in the series standings, as the Race to the Chase winds down. …
Now, as Carl Edwards (No. 99 AFLAC Ford) returns to Michigan International Speedway, there’s a good chance he could finally nab his first win of the 2009 season.
After all, he’s earned two NASCAR Sprint Cup Series wins at the track, in June 2007 and August 2008. He swept the August 2009 weekend with a win in the NASCAR Nationwide Series race in addition to the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series win.
This time last year, Edwards was on a tear – Michigan marked his fifth win of the season and the beginning of a three-win streak.
And this past June at MIS, Edwards finished fourth.
“It’s a real special track,” Edwards said. “That will be the five-year anniversary of my first Cup start – which blows my mind. I can’t believe I’ve been doing this for five years. I’m very fortunate.”
