Edwards crew chief misses race

MEXICO CITY - Carl Edwards will have his Nextel Cup crew chief Bob Osborne calling the shots for him in the Telcel-Motorola 200 Busch Series race this weekend because immigration issues kept crew chief Pierre Kuttel at home.
"P.K. is a Canadian-born citizen, and he had to get his passport from Canada," Edwards said Friday before practice at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez. "The story I got was that he sent in some picture that they took in Daytona, and he was all sunburned and red, and they sent it back saying that he was too sunburned and that can't be your passport photo.
"He's always sunburned, though. He's always out in the sun. So, Bob's here and that will be cool."
Osborne had a passport and was able to go to the race.
"Bob was looking forward to a weekend off, and it was so funny because I didn't know he was coming until we got on the plane yesterday," Edwards said. "I walked on the plane, and there he was, and I was so glad to see him.
"He tried to act like he didn't want to come, but he had a good time last night at dinner."
