After a second-place finish in Sunday night's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Atlanta Motor Speedway, Edwards let everyone he's going to contend in the Chase for the Sprint Cup.
"I know we don't look like we did in 2008," Edwards said, alluding to the most recent season he had a shot at winning the series title. "But we're better set to go race for that championship now than we've ever been."
Edwards, long a cerebral force in the garage area with an unvarnished penchant to march to his own beat, isn't pulling anybody's leg with that declaration.
In the last eight races, Edwards and his Roush-Fenway Racing No. 99 Ford team have turned the corner and then some in favor of being competitive again.
That span -- beginning at Daytona in July -- has seen Edwards finish in the top five five times. More significantly, he's finished outside the top 10 just once, and that was at Bristol, where he crossed the finish line in 12th. Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
