EDWARDS WINS THIRD NASCAR SPRINT CUP SERIES RACE AT BRISTOL
Carl Edwards captured the 22nd NASCAR Sprint Cup Series win of his career with today’s victory.
Today’s win is Ford’s 620th all-time series victory and the 134th for Roush Fenway Racing.
Edwards’ third Bristol win ties him with Fred Lorenzen and Kurt Busch, who each won three times at this track for Ford.
This marks Ford’s 34th NASCAR Sprint Cup Series win at Bristol, which is the second-highest total for the manufacturer at one track. Michigan International Speedway has been the most successful for Ford with 35 wins.
The last time Ford won consecutive NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races was 2012 when
Marcos Ambrose and Greg Biffle won at Watkins Glen and Michigan, respectively.
The last time Ford swept the top three spots in a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race was last season when David Ragan, David Gilliland and Carl Edwards finished 1-2-3 at Talladega on May 5, 2013.
