Edwards moving forward

No one's had a worse week in the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series than Carl Edwards. He won the race at Dover International Speedway only to have his car not pass post-race inspection. He went from being in third place in the Chase standings, three points out of first, to sixth place and 28 points out of first.
NASCAR penalized Edwards 25 points for not passing inspection after the Dover race. Roush Fenway Racing is appealing the penalty, but history indicates that the chances of successfully appealing are slim.
It could have been worse for Edwards. At least he is still within striking distance of Jeff Gordon, the leader of the Chase. But if he loses the championship by less than 25 points, he'll know exactly where he left those points.
Edwards sounds like he is trying to move forward after the disaster at Dover.
"I’m really excited to race at Kansas this week," said Edwards, driver of the No. 99 Ford for Roush Fenway Racing. "It’s my hometown track so it will be neat having so many family and friends there. I think we have a really good Office Depot car for this weekend. Kansas is a really fun track to drive and I think we’ll be able to have a good run there."
Despite getting docked in points, Edwards still won the race at Dover. It has given his team a little confidence going into the last eight races of the year.
"We are coming off a great win at Dover and with that momentum in the Chase the entire Office Depot team is really pumped and looking forward to going racing at the kind of track where we’ve been successful in the past,” Edwards said.
