Carl Edwards has recently become the winner of the Nationwide Series which took place last Saturday at the Michigan International Speedway. This was the nineteenth victory for Roush Fenway Racing team in Michigan but the first so far in the series.
Both favorite drivers to win the competition Stewart and Edwards began the competition in good shape and Edwards who was driving the Roush Fenway Racing’s Ford headed without problems during the 125 laps required at the two miles track.
I am so happy to have won. We had been so close before. I do not know how we were able to win over Tony. He was very fast. The car was genial during the whole day” stated Edwards after finishing the race.
This is Edwards third victory of the year in the Nationwide Series but during this race Edwards was ahead for the most laps and a time difference of 35 seconds ahead of Vickers. Unfortunately for Efland he crashed at the starting of the final lap and only managed to finish the race with the yellow flag.
On the other hand Vickers himself stated that he left sad as despite of his constant efforts and hard work to win one of the races he has not been able to be successful at it perhaps he also needs to bit of luck to his favor.
There is also a question regarding the efficiency of the vehicles driven by Edwards Ford and Vickers Toyota. Vickers believes there is a manner of the machines power involved and the technology implemented by both teams.
Another driver who had a good weekend was Tony Stewart who finished third in the race followed by Mark Martin Greg Biffle Mike Bliss and the 18 yearold rookie Joey Logano.
By the end of the present season Stewart will become the StewartHaas Racing driver and owner he is very pleased with his decision as well as the way he has been performing during this campaign. His new project will be very demanding and he is looking forward to a new beginning. He has won a total of five races and he is already a strong candidate for the upcoming competitions.
The highlight of the race was the crash of Clint Bowyer and David Reutimann in the final part of the race but there was no need for medical assistance. Edwards has to his account a total of 16 victories and 113 points just behind Bowyer. Keselowski who finished in the eleventh position has a total of 132 points. Now all drivers are heading to Bristol next week for the decisive race.
Nevertheless there are always questions and doubts about the drivers the vehicles the mechanical teams and the strategies used on the track but that is the way Nascar racing unveils its good and bad moments. One thing is certain and that is we will see more action throughout the remaining races and more new talents appearing every day.
