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 3,5 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 year-old rookie, Joey Logano.
By the end of the present season Stewart will become the Stewart-Haas 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.

With two races left until the grand finale of the 2009 NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship, the ferocity and intensity of the competition only increase. As is common in the sport, event after event, the situation of each driver changes, often quite dramatically. In previous races, the leader of the tournament, Jimmie Johnson, described each individual competition as a whole new challenge; each track is very different and it is very difficult to predict what might happen next. This quality was revealed very clearly last weekend at the Dickies 500, the thirty-fourth event of the top racing category in NASCAR. The event took place at the Texas Motor Speedway Circuit. In Texas, Johnson caused great amazement, but not because he won; instead, he suffered a serious accident that left the crows agape. The result left the three-time champion in the pits area for more than an hour while his team tried to repair his car. The lost time led him to end in 38th place, adding only 49 points and shortening his lead against Mark Martin, the driver in second place, to 73 points. While Johnson waited to return to the track, a fierce battle ensued between Kyle Busch and his older brother, Kurt Busch, for first place in the race. During the confrontation Denny Hamlin, driver of Joe Gibbs racing, managed to lead the race for two laps. The event proceeded with increasing speed and a growing enthusiasm within both the drivers and the crowd; the competitors were trying to give a good show. The Busch brothers were the center of attention, their clash watched with bated breath. It was a tough battle and neither of the two was willing to give any ground. This confrontation only grew until late in the competition, when Kyle was able to situate himself in first after he passed through the pit area in the 269th lap. Kurt joined the pits in lap 271, and, after exiting speedily, quickly reached his younger brother. Trying to maximize his resources, Kyle didn’t refuel, and as a result in lap 331 he ran out of gas. His brother seized on the moment to pass him and snag first place. Kurt was able to save his fuel to stay at the wheel of his Dodge and complete the scheduled 334 laps, crossing the finish line in first place. With the victory, his third of the season and the twentieth of his professional career in the Sprint Cup, Kurt, the driver of the #2 Penske Racing team, won a total of 190 points, giving him the opportunity to advance two positions in the standings, at 4th place with 6,126 points. Another driver who took advantage of Kyle’s missing fuel – the younger Busch finished at eleventh – was Hamlin, who crossed the finish line in second place, followed by Matt Kenseth in third. After this event, Johnson, who is seeking a fourth consecutive title (a feat unprecedented in NASCAR history) adds a total of 6,297 points, with Martin trailing him very closely. His victory, then, is hardly guaranteed.
