Carl Edwards

Carl Edwards out runs Jeff Gordon to take the top trophy for his first road course win. Edwards was only 0.591 seconds ahead of Gordon at the Flag. Gordon had been trying to catch and pass Edwards for 8 laps but ran out of time to make the pass.

Dale Earnhardt Jr survived 2 contacts that left Kenseth's car out and later he collided with Allmendinger, but still managed to maintain and he finished 3rd.

Danica Patrick started 11th position and remained on the lead lap but finishing 18th.

Sonoma Raceway is one of the 2 road-course tracks on the NASCAR schedule and with its challenging hills and off camber turns it gives the drivers their biggest challenges.

YOU GOT TO BE THERE!!
