Rain puts damper on Edward’s Run

Another driver in dire need of a victory, Carl Edwards, had his chances cut short by the rain.

Edwards is 12th in the standings, 60 points out of 10th, but without a win since March of last year. Under those circumstances, his seventh-place finish on Sunday wasn’t quite good enough.

“We needed another restart,” Edwards said. “It’s too bad that the rain came when it did, because we needed to keep racing… The good news is that we were fast, and (crew chief) Chad (Norris) has done a really good job with the car, and I’m really looking forward to next week (at Watkins Glen).

“I have never wanted to race so bad in my life — I want to be racing right now.”
