Welcome to NASCAR Nationwide Series 2008
Carl Edwards win at Memphis.
Carl Edwards won the Nationwide race at Memphis, and closes the gap on first place in the Nationwide series. Edwards trimmed 80 points off Clint Bowyer's lead in the NASCAR Nationwide Series championship,Saturday when he won the "Kroger On Track For The Cure 250" at Memphis Motorsports Park. Edwards,held off hard charging David Reutimann to the checkered flag for his fifth win of the season. Edwards started at the rear of the field because he was practicing his Sprint Cup car in Atlanta. Edwards said after the race, "That was awesome. I don't know if it was that much fun for the fans, but it sure was great for me to realize that we only had to race five or six people for the rest of the day. I just can't believe that last restart. Reutimann was all over me and all he had to do was bump me out of the way and that would have been a lot different race. If I ever wear another guy's T-shirt, it will be a David Reutimann T-shirt. That was amazing how clean he raced me at the end"
