NASCAR: Carl Edwards wins at ORP beating Busch

7-26-2009

by Éric Descarries

Carl Edwards (Ford No 60) came from the end of the pack to lead the NASCAR Nationwide race held Saturday night at the O'Reilly Raceway Park bullring.

On the last pit stop, he came out second behind Kyle Busch (Camry No 18) but with some 22 laps to go, he passed the Nationwide point leader to finally win the Kroger 200, his second win of the year.

Edwards lead 72 of the 200 race laps. Matt Kenseth (Ford No 16) came in third while Brad Keselowski (Chevy No 88) finished fourth followed by a surprising Steve Wallace (Chevy No 66). Pole sitter Trevor Bayne (Camry No 99), only 18 years old, finished seventh.

Nonetheless, Busch still leads the series with 192 points over Edwards as the series moves to Iowa next Saturday.
