Good day for Ford
Roush Fenway Racing had three cars finish in the top 10 in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Yates Racing had a top-10 car, giving Ford four cars in the top 10. Chevrolet had four cars in the top 10, too. Toyota and Dodge each had one.
Carl Edwards won the race in the No. 99 Ford for Roush Fenway Racing. Greg Biffle in the No. 16 for Roush, was third, David Ragan, driver of the No. 6 Ford for Roush, was a suprising sixth and Travis Kvapil in the No. 28 for Yates Racing, was eighth.
The results in the race were a little misleading. Jeff Gordon and Matt Kenseth, another driver for Roush, collided bringing out a red flag stopping the race with four laps to go. They would have easily been in the top 10, probably the top five, if they had not crashed.
Still, it was another impressive showing for Ford, especially those from the Roush Fenway Racing team.
"Boy, it will be real interesting to sit down and read everything that everybody is going to write about domination, what the state of competition is in Sprint Cup racing," said Jack Roush, owner of Roush Fenway Racing. "I'll do my very best not to read that.
It was the second straight Cup win for Edwards, who also leads the Cup Series standings after three races.
"We need to just maintain focus," Roush said. "We aren't as good as it would appear to be for having won the last two races, and we weren't as bad as it looked like we were when we couldn't win a race for part of last year."
