JOLIET, Ill. -- Carl Edwards wanted just a little more time in Sunday’s USG Sheetrock 400 at Chicagoland Speedway.
“We needed about 20 more laps,” said Edwards, who surged after his final pit stop to wind up third in his No. 99 Ford behind Tony Stewart and Matt Kenseth. “Tony’s car was faster than ours but we had better tires.”
Edwards had to settle for a duel with Roush Fenway Racing teammate Matt Kenseth for second over the final laps. They got side by side at one point, but Kenseth eventually came out ahead.
“I should have stayed to his outside,” Edwards said. “I tried to put a slide job on him but that didn’t work out.”
