Backflips: Edwards Wins in Bristol

Carl Edwards logged his first non-cookie cutter NNCS win last night. Kasey Kahne oddly dominated most of the race, but Edwards had the car to beat for the last half, and no one did.

Top Ten-

Edwards
Kahne
Bowyer
Stewart
Earnhardt
Busch, Ku
Newman
Labonte
Busch, Ky
Biffle

The race for the Chase remains static. Earnhardt picked up 5 points on Busch, not nearly what he needed. Kurt has closed in. He, Truex and Harvick are all within 10 points of one another.

Results- Sharpie 500

Chase update from ESPN

I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one who thought so....ESPN columnist agrees that track resurfacing at Bristol made the race extraordinarily boring.


Regardless of point standings, if the Chase started today these would be the point standings as of New Hampshire:

Gordon (5040)
Johnson (5040)

Stewart (5030)

Busch, Ku. (5020)
Edwards (5020)

Burton (5010)
Busch, Ky. (5010)
Hamlin (5010)
Harvick (5010)
Kenseth (5010)
Truex (5010)

Bowyer (5000)
