No. 4 Carl Edwards

| | Comments (0) |

It looks like Carl Edwards has recovered from his 100 point penalty after winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway without a cover on his oil tank reserve.
He's back in the top five in the Cup standings after a second-place finish at Dover International Speedway and heading to a track that has yielded one win in his Cup career.
Edwards won the Cup race at Pocono International Raceway in 2005, his first Cup race at the track.
Since then his record hasn't been all that good. His best finish in his past four races at Pocono has been a 14th. He has a 21st, 25th and a 39th place finish mixed in there as well.
"I'm excited to go to Pocono," said Edwards, driver of the No. 99 Ford for Roush Fenway Racing. "I feel confident that we have what it takes to run well there, even though we have struggled some at Pocono in our last few visits there. This is the first weekend I'll be traveling between the Nationwide and Cup Series so I'm looking forward to that as well."
The car his team is taking to Pocono last raced at Richmond International Speedway in May. He finished seventh in that race.
