Carl Edwards determined to return stronger in 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup championship – NASCAR news
Roush Fenway Racing driver Carl Edwards aims to make a stronger return in 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup season.
The Ford driver completed the 2011 Cup season in second place following Tony Stewart of Stewart-Haas Racing.
Edwards said. “I'm obviously disappointed we didn't win. That would have been a spectacular result, okay. But I'm very proud, some of the best races I've run in my life, were this Chase. Kansas was unbelievable. Martinsville, I've never used my head as much
as I did at Martinsville.”
The RFR driver shortly missed the crown in 2011 and was disappointed from the season finish. He was also runner up in the 2008 Cup season.
The car no. 99 Ford driver spent majority of the 2011 season in leading the points’ table. After completing the regular season, he even led six weeks out of ten cup chase race weekends.
Edwards faced an unlucky season to lose his best chance for the 2011 title claim. Stewart has won five races out of the starts for cup chase. This caused Edwards to lose track on the lead.
Edwards added, “I've never been able to put down my frustration like I did at Dover. If I look back on this Chase, there's not one thing that I say, man, I wish I'd have done this or I wish I'd have done that. This whole season has gone very well. I'm truly
proud of this season. I mean, but it's over.”
However, after losing he was content with his season performance. He has been very consistent in the season than any other.
He also praised team’s effort during the season. The squad worked hard to provide reliable machine and environment for the season. During the Cup chase, the team has worked even harder to hold the opportunity for the season title. He claims to have one of
the best crews supporting his racing career.
After completing the season, Edwards collected a positive note from the year that he is able to compete with top cup contenders and will be starting his next season on the same note.
While leading the play offs for majority of the weeks, it is confirmed that he is able to score as many points as other several time champions can.
