Bristol Update

Edwards Back in Second
Carl Edwards may not win the Busch Series title unless Kevin Harvick decides not to race the last few events of the season. Harvick has a over a 500 point lead and looks to be a lock to win the title. While Edwards will not catch Harvick, he did reclaim second place in the points standings with his eighth place finish last night at Bristol. Jason Leffler also had a good points night moving up to eleventh with his fifth place finish.

Open Wheelers will have to Dig Tonight
Open Wheel drivers will have to either be carefull or move up through the field quickly tonight if they hope to finish. The majority of the Open Wheelers start outside the top ten. Only Tony Stewart starts inside at 5th. You can easily get caught up in someone elses mess at the shortest track in NASCAR. It will take a little luck and a lot of patience to win tonight.
