Carl Edwards is a distant 285 points out of first in the NASCAR Nextel Chase for the Nextel Cup standings. But it looks like his team is far from giving up.
They are bringing a winning car to Atlanta Motor Speedway this weeked. With four races to go in the Chase, Edwards and his team have a lot of ground to make up in a short amount of time.
“Atlanta is one of my favorite tracks to race," said Edwards, driver of the No. 99 Ford for Roush Fenway Racing. "It’s a really fun track and I get excited just driving through the tunnel to get inside – I can’t wait to get there and race. The biggest day of my racing career came at Atlanta Motor Speedway, when I got my first Cup win. It’s a moment I know I’ll never forget. This weekend is going to be a lot fun for the Office Depot team.”
The car Edwards will be racing to the track won the race in Atlanta in 2005. It also raced at California Speedway in February, where it finished 29th. On a positive note, Matt Kenseth, Edwards's teammate at Roush Fenway Racing, won the race at California Speedway in February.
