Carl Edwards comes in 4th at Michigan

He did a great job even leading at one point in the race. He had to stop for gas though and ended up coming in 4th. It was cool to see him trade some paint with Matt Kenseth there with about 3 laps to go. It was nice to see him in a race where he wasn't stuck at 20th or so. It seemed that way week after week for a bit there.

This looks great for his Chase chances also because it put him into 9th place in the standing. It looked touch and go there for a bit with him barely staying in 10th. He just needs to finish strong on these last few races and it will give me a reason to watch the Chase instead of football.

I agree that it was absurd how much trash was on the track and how it affected the performance of certain cars out there. They need to wrap the hotdogs in some other kind of material or maybe just put them in little boxes or something. Also they may need to use some kind of napkin that will tear up instead of fly around and stick in some drivers grill.

One final thing they could try is make the spectators eat their food in some sort of food court type area and not be able to take them back to their seats. It seemed for a time there that every car had some wrapper or something slowing them down.
