Nascar Nextel Cup Decided
Edwards' third win tightens top 10
Associated Press
HAMPTON, Ga. -- Lap after lap, Carl Edwards flirted with the outside walls on his way to another victory at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
While just about everyone else in the 43-car field for Sunday's NASCAR Nextel Cup race tried to run well below those unforgiving walls, Edwards purposely hugged the concrete at speeds approaching 200 mph.
"I like running at the top of the racetrack," Edwards said after completing a season sweep on the 1.5-mile, D-shaped oval. "It's a blast.
"I used to race at this track in Holt Summitt, Missouri, and the fast line used to be with the right-side tires up on the guardrail. We won two track championships there just driving it on the guardrail."
