Carl Edwards must know how the West was conquered … been by state. He won in California. He won in Nevada. And Sunday, won in Texas.
Acrobatic Edwards is in a gust of wind. And he does without his group leader to regulate, that is suspended by violations to the rules previously in the year.
Running or the Johnsons and Kyle Busch go most of to the front, or right behind Jimmie the race, Edwards took the end in return 214 from the 339 from Samsung 500 and she maintained practically it during the rest of the race.
Edwards contained to Johnson and Busch in a duel of two returns after the sixth and last yellow flag that prepared the scene for an exciting end in green, white flag and to pictures.
As much the second place, the Johnsons, like the third Busch place, delivered their better attack to gain the race in this trioval of 2,4 km (1,5 miles) of Motor Texas Speedway.
In order to complete the 10 first, they arrived Ryan Newman in fourth place, the winner of the 500 Miles of Daytona whereupon the campaign was abrió; Denny Hamlin, winner of the race of the weekend last in Martinsville; the veteran Jeff Burton; Tony Stewart; Mark Martin; Matt Kenseth and Clint Bowyer.
Kevin Harvick fought to finalize 11º after to have a car with very bad maneuverability at the beginning of the race. Dale Earnhardt Jr, arrived in 12º after running sometimes with the leaders in first half of the race.
The novice Michael McDowell, who in the evening left unharmed an impressive accident in the qualification Friday, finalized 33º.
Tetracampeón Jeff Gordon had a terrible day and finalized 43º (last place).
Burton remains in the first place in the scores of Glass Sprint of NASCAR and Harvick is second. Edwards raised four positions to be in 10º and Busch scaled two places to the third party.
The most popular pilot of the sport - Earnhardt - led the beginning of the race from his position of privilege, but its Chevy lost stability quickly. Busch, the Edwards and exceeded it easily to the Johnsons.
It was a day of perfect climate in the track of Texas when Michael Waltrip trompeó in curve 2 to cause the first yellow flag. It was an opportune yellow flag for Harvick, that had said to him to its equipment that the car was really “bad. I do not have the smaller idea because he is so bad”.
The equipment of Harvick and the others, including Earnhardt and Jeff Gordon, used the shutdown to make adjustments necessary.
In the resumption, the equipment of to Junior put it to the front with Johnson following it close by, just in front of the minor of the Busch brothers. The no. 48 Chevy de Johnson took the leadership in return 48.
Gordon, tetracampeón, Chevrolets de Hendrick battled in place 34 in the third party of four, almost an average second and behind its coequiperos. Casey Mears, in the other, was 24º.
In return 55, Earnhardt fell to the fifth position, behind Johnson, Busch, Edwards and Greg Biffle.
Gordon trompeó in return 109, the second yellow flag of the sunny day. I spin a top of Gordon finished with a frustrating day when it arrived at the garage and it said to him to the group leader, Steve Letarte, “We needed to change everything and to turn this into a test session”.
Gordon never has had luck in this track. She is one of only two tracks in the circuit of Glass Sprint of NASCAR in which Gordon does not have triumphs. The other is Homestead- Miami Speedway.
The race was reinitiated in return 113 with Kenseth to the front, followed of Johnson, Edwards, Busch, Earnhardt, Denny Hamlin, Biffle, Martin Truex, Jr, Stewart and Kasey Kahne.
J.J. Yeley caused the fourth yellow flag when it bounced of the outer wall to the interior in return 175.
All the cars to the front entered pits, and Matt Kenseth recovered its leadership.
