Roush Fenway Racing’s three Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup-eligible teams can’t win the 2010 series title, but they could win Sunday’s season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
And then some.
A victory by Carl Edwards (No. 99 Aflac Ford) instantly brands him a 2011 title contender. Edwards currently sits fourth in the Chase standings and won last week’s event at Phoenix International Raceway. That victory broke a 70-race winless drought that dated to Nov. 16, 2008 at Homestead-Miami, which bodes well for Edwards and his teammates.
Roush Fenway leads all teams with six wins at the South Florida track. Greg Biffle (No. 16 3M Ford) has three wins, Matt Kenseth (No. 17 Crown Royal Ford) and Edwards both have one win and former Roush Fenway driver and 2004 series champion Kurt Busch (No. 2 Miller Lite Dodge), now with Penske Racing, has one.
Edwards, who has one win, three top fives and five top 10s in six career starts at Homestead-Miami, is on an end-of-season roll. He won from the pole at Phoenix.
“We’ve got a ton of momentum right now,” he said. “I feel like our 1.5-mile program is really strong, and our team is riding a huge wave from last weekend’s win in Phoenix. We can’t lose at Homestead because no matter what happens we all feel like we finished the season strong. We’re just going to go for the win and hopefully finish top four in points. That would be huge.”
