CONCORD, N.C. — Carl Edwards’ No. 99 crew didn’t win Thursday’s Sprint Pit Crew Challenge—they waited until it really counted.
NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race 5.21.11
Flawless work during mandatory four-tire pit stops before the final 10-lap shootout in Saturday night’s Sprint All-Star Race at Charlotte Motor Speedway got Edwards off pit road first, ahead of Kyle Busch. That proved decisive in Edwards’ first All-Star win as he became the eighth different winner of the event in the last eight years.
Edwards, who finished .443 seconds ahead of runner-up Busch, collected $1.2 million for the victory. David Reutimann ran third, followed by Tony Stewart and Greg Biffle. Matt Kenseth, Denny Hamlin, David Ragan, Kevin Harvick and Ryan Newman completed the top 10.
