Edwards shoves Bowyer aside for Milwaukee win

Posted by on June 21st, 2008

Carl Edwards was desperate to get back into victory lane in the NASCAR Nationwide Series, and he wasn’t about to let Clint Bowyer stand in his way at the Milwaukee Mile on Saturday night.

Edwards shoved his fellow Sprint Cup series standout sideways with 25 laps to go, then held off young lion Joey Logano for his first Nationwide victory of the season after dominating the series last year.

Want to find out who really is the best driver in NASCAR? Adding a road course to the Chase would do the trick, Lee Spencer says.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. is most definitely not on the list of drivers who love NASCAR’s annual visit to wine country.

Earnhardt couldn’t think of a worse track than Infineon Raceway to visit a week after winning his first race.

“Never liked coming here,” he said. “Don’t like the track. It’s not a fun track to compete on. It’s fun to go around it and goof off and raise a little bit of hell, but I don’t like being in competition on it.

NASCAR’s annual trip to Sonoma has always been a celebration for Jeff Gordon. Surrounded by family and friends, he enjoys some fine wine, a game or two of croquet and his many personal milestones.

Two years ago he threw an engagement party here, and last year he celebrated the birth of his first child. The party this trip is daughter Ella’s first birthday, planned for after the garage closes Saturday at Infineon Raceway.
