Sprint Cup Pole Report: Edwards Breaks Track Record Winning Pole

CarlEdwardsPIR Carl Edwards, driver of the No. 99 Aflac Ford Fusion, broke Phoenix International Raceway’s track record with a lap of 26.395 (136.389 mph.) for the Kobalt Tools 500 during Friday's qualifying session. To finish out the front row is A.J. Allmendinger, only 0.027 behind Edwards in the Insignia HDTV/Best Buy Ford for Richard Petty Motorsports, who did not know what to expect for this weekend when it came to cars in which they would be racing. 

It is the second to last race of the season. Kurt Busch will be handing over the keys to the Miller Lite Blue Deuce to Brad Keselowski before taking over the No. 22 Pennzoil Dodge for Penske Racing starting in2011. Lots of teams though are trying to win before the end of the season to make a statement in the sport of NASCAR.  But after the race last weekend at Texas Motor Speedway, you just never know what could happen.  

Now when it comes to the Chase, Denny Hamlin, Jimmie Johnson and Kevin Harvick are only 59 points within one another in the top three spots of the Chase. Who do you think of these three will win some major points in hopes to win the championship this weekend and next?

For all the racing action all weekend long, keep checking back Skirts and Scuffs under the events area on the main page of the site.
