Nice night for Edwards

What a sweet win for Carl Edwards tonight, in many ways.

First of all, it snapped the defending Nationwide champion's thirty-six race winless streak. It was incredibly odd that a man of Carl's skill, who does so well in Nationwide races, hasn't won yet.

Also, it showed that Edwards can work very well with his new crew-chief, Drew Blickensderfer, who came in just this week. It's amazing that it only took one week for these two to win a race.

This was easily Edward's best car and race in the entire year, and the result luckily came out that way. He can now use this win and newfound confidence in his team and crew chief to make a little bit of a run in the standings. He's sitting in fourth right now, and is a long ways away from Clint Bowyer, but he can do it.

In addition to these Nationwide things, it must feel great for Edwards that the long trip he made from Sonoma to Milwaukee was worth it. It was questionable to being with, and I'm sure that Edwards is tired tonight and doesn't feel like racing on a road-course tomorrow, but he'll be going back to Infineon happy.
