Race Recap: Edwards Nudges Busch for Bristol Win

By Reid Spencer
Sporting News NASCAR Wire Service

(August 23, 2008)

BRISTOL, Tenn. โ€” For the second straight NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race, Carl Edwards beat Kyle Busch when it counted.

Executing an adroit bump and run on Lap 470, Edwards passed for the lead and pulled away over the final 30 laps Saturday night at Bristol Motor Speedway, winning the Sharpie 500 by 1.969 seconds over Busch.

With the win, his sixth of the season and the 13th of his career, Edwards secured a position in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup and trimmed Buschโ€™s bonus points margin to 30. Unhappy with the way Edwards passed him for the lead, Busch bumped Edwardsโ€™ No. 99 Ford after the checkered flag.

Edwards bumped back, and Buschโ€™s No. 18 Toyota went spinning. To make matters worse, NASCAR summoned Busch to the sanctioning bodyโ€™s transporter after the race.

Kyle Busch Angry With Carl EdwardsPosted by: Kerry Murphey in News[/align]
Kyle Busch Bristol Post-Race Questions and Answers:

Q. Carl said that after the race your indiscernible โ€œWell, what happened was I kind of ran into him.โ€ Does it cut any ice at all that he at least admitted how he won?
KYLE BUSCH: No, because he does that and heโ€™ll always come back and say heโ€™s sorry. He did it at Milwaukee and heโ€™s done it a few other times. Itโ€™s just his normal fashion. Thatโ€™s fine. Iโ€™ve grown to know that now. You know, to pass a guy, to hit him getting into the corners and chatters is very tired, is what he did. But I tried to get him back, but I thought better of it and tried to pull down and pass him back. But I didnโ€™t have a good enough car to stick, and Denny got to his outside and he got by me, and then I had to battle with him towards the end. We were as clean as could be, of course, but just one other dude we had a problem with.
Q. Carl suggested that is a rivalry now. Would you agree with that or would you just keep racing the field?
KYLE BUSCH: How many do I need.
Q. Do you anticipate any kind of a penalty from NASCAR for running into Carl after the race?
KYLE BUSCH: Couldnโ€™t tell you. Itโ€™s NASCARโ€™s decision and their discretion. He spun me out. So I just, you know, got into him a little bit and let him know that I didnโ€™t appreciate the way he passed me and he retaliated and ended up spinning me out. So, couldnโ€™t tell you.
