Fun in the forecast this weekend for Roush Fenway Racing's Carl Edwards

Roush Fenway Racing's Carl Edwards is fifth in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series standings after 18 races this season.

JOLIET, Ill. – While Carl Edwards can't predict whether Saturday's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series event at Chicagoland Speedway will be as exciting as last year's back-and-forth battle between eventual race winner Kyle Busch and Jimmie Johnson, the Roush Fenway Racing driver expects it will be fun.
“You never know, but this place does give some great racing," said Edwards, who is currently fifth in the series standings. "It’s a lot like an Atlanta or Texas. It has got multiple grooves."
Although Edwards finished a disappointing 32nd after starting fourth in last year's race at the 1.5-mile facility, the driver of the No. 99 Ford does have one top-five and a top-10 finish in four Cup starts here.
"This place is fun. It has got some character. It has got some bumps and different grooves, and I really enjoyed the race last year," Edwards said. "We made it all the way to the lead and had a little bit of mechanical trouble, but it should be good, and it’s good for the fans, too. I like these night races.”
There is, however, one aspect to racing at night at Chicagoland or any other track that Edwards doesn't enjoy.
"The only bad thing about the night race is just waiting all day for it to start," he said. "Other than that, they’re great.”

Jul 10, 2009 at 10:09 PMYes, he gave a great interview tonight after the Nationwide race even though he only got a 6th. Busch got second and actually talked to the media, but the longer the interview went on the more solemn and angry looking he looked and sounded. Carl was "up" for the whole thing. GO Carl. I will pick Busch in my Fantasy league again to help assure he loses again in Cup.
