Edwards Does It Again

BRISTOL, Tenn. (AP) - Carl Edwards isn't giving up anything to

Kyle Busch and his domination of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series

season, especially when it counts the most.

Edwards saw Busch lead 415 consecutive laps Saturday night at

Bristol Motor Speedway, then used him bumper to nudge Busch in the

first turn on lap 470. That move caused Busch's car to wiggle just

enough so that Edwards could drive by on his way to his second

consecutive victory.

The triumph was also the sixth of the season for the Roush

Fenway Racing driver, allowing him to close the gap of bonus points

he's likely to face when the 12-race Chase for the championship

begins. Busch has eight wins, and each is worth 10 Chase bonus

points.

After taking the checkered flag, Edwards was making his cooldown

lap around the track when Busch drove up and bumped his car.

Edwards clearly wasn't amused, and when he responded by driving the

nose of his car into the right side of Busch's, the fans cheered

wildly.

Busch finished second.
