Although Carl Edwards came within inches and just 0.010 seconds short of his first Sprint Cup win of the season, he made it clear in his post race comments that he was having fun racing Kevin Harvick to the Good Sam 500 checkered flag at Phoenix International Raceway on Sunday afternoon – the closest finish ever at that track.  Continue reading →

After the drivers traded shots on the way to the stripe, Harvick pulled ahead to win the fourth NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race of the season by 0.010 seconds (roughly four inches), the identical margin by which Denny Hamlin had beaten Martin Truex Jr. in the season-opening Daytona 500.
