Showdown in Texas! Supercross and NASCAR Results from Texas.
Carl Edwards brought his best to Texas this weekend, and for the third time
this season had a dominating performance over the competitors in the Cup Series.
Edwards led 123 Laps and finished .399 ahead of series leader Kyle
Busch.
The tires were just slippery enough that the car was fun to drive," said Edwards.
The race was one of the first races since September 2006 where there was only 1 Hendrick car on the lead lap.
To note, Michael McDowell had one of the worst crashes we've seen with the "car of the future". It involved the car catching on fire, after hitting the wall, where it began to flip multiple times. He was able to walk away from the crash. (video below)
