I knew I was going to be on defense down there. I got up too high … and then he got into me, like he should have. I knew I needed to get a good run off the corner and I was going to have to get into his door. And it worked out, just barely.“I just told him it was fun,” Edwards said after the race . “It was a fun race, a fun finish.”
