For at least one weekend, Mike Edwards won’t have to answer questions from the media about having the car to beat all weekend and losing in the final round, which suits the Oklahoma native just fine.
Edwards scored his eighteenth career NHRA Pro Stock national event
title during the NHRA Northwest Nationals in convincing fashion by
sweeping the event from qualifying to eliminations. His third win of
the season came at the expense of Jason Line.
“We’ve had three really good days all year,” Edwards said of day which
produced his eighth final round for 2009. “Anytime you win a race it’s
good. My guys have just prepared this car. Every time we came up to run
the car was just flawless.”
