Carl Edwards wins at Charlotte
Open Wheeler Carl Edwards claimed his first Busch Series win of the season tonight at Charlotte.
Edwards trailed fellow Open Wheeler Casey Mears with 8 laps to go but on the restart, Mears car stumbled and the Missouri native drove right by Mears.
JJ Yeley then battled Mears for third and claimed the spot. Mears finished fourth.
Tony Stewart had the opposite luck of Edwards tonight. The USAC Triple Crown Champion, hit the wall hard in turn 4 when something broke on his car.
The hit was so hard that it sent springs from the car across the track. As a precaution, FX reports that Stewart was taken to a local hospital for x-rays but
The network later reported that Tony Stewart was ok and would race Sunday.
There was also a small pit road fire. The fire was immediately extinguished.
With Carl Edward’s victory came his backflip.

Open Wheelers go for a Ride on Ohio Short Track
Short track racing plus rookies equals a new record for cautions and unfortunately several spins by our Open Wheelers.
Kraig Kinser spun here early in the race trying to avoid Johnny Benson who had a tire go down.
Kyle Krisoloff later spun Bobby East.
East and Krisoloff made contact again, and then Erin Crocker made contact with Krisoloff who then stopped on the track and brought out the caution. (Dude, you can’t do that in NASCAR.)
The spins cycle was not over just yet. Erin Crocker was spun by another truck.
Later she was turned again. Veteran Ron Hornaday won the race.

Wise Out duels Jones in Thriller
Indianapolis, Ind. – Josh Wise passed Levi Jones on the final lap of the Hoosier Hundred Friday night at the Indiana State Fairgrounds.
The pole setter, Jones had led every lap except for the last one. The race was extended for a green white checkered because of two yellows in a row. Bud Kaeding challenged the Tony Stewart Motorsports team all night but came home third. Bryan Tyler came from 18th to finish 7th. Kaeding is now tied with Tyler for the points lead. Rookie Ricky Stenhouse won the last chance race and finished 14th in his first time behind the wheel of a Silver Crown car.
The attendance was good. The folks that worked hard to make the Hoosier Hundred a reality this year were honored prior to the race. The next Silver Crown race is at Kentucky in June.
