05/03/2007 - Richmond, VA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - It's been more than two years since anyone other than Kevin Harvick has won a NASCAR Busch Series event at Richmond. The 2006 Busch Series champion and current Daytona 500 champion could make track history with another Busch win at Richmond this weekend.
If he's victorious in Friday night's Circuit City 250, Harvick will become the first driver to win four consecutive Busch Series events at Richmond in the series 26-year history.
He also won three of Richmond's four NASCAR events last season - both Busch Series events and the fall Nextel Cup event.
Carl Edwards finished 10th in last week's Busch race at the Phoenix International Raceway...ho hum. It was Edwards' 10th top-10 this season in 10 starts. It was also his worst finish of the season. Previously, Edwards' worst finish was a sixth place at Las Vegas.
With two wins among his 10 top-10s, Edwards has built a commanding 443-point lead over Harvick (1,664 - 1,231). Of course Harvick is not racing a full schedule in 2007 and in fact is second despite already missing two events (Mexico City, Nashville). He is also scheduled to miss more events so he will not have a shot at repeating his 2006 championship.
The closest full-time competitor is Dave Blaney, who is a distant 496 points behind Edwards.
And leading the "Busch Series only" drivers is rookie Marcos Ambrose who is 655 points behind the points leader.
But this series title should be wrapped up some time around Independence Day as Edwards continues to march inexorably towards a championship.
"I'm really proud to be a part of such a winning organization," said Edwards after winning in Nashville in early April. "I just can't say enough about Jack (Roush) and everyone that works at Roush Fenway Racing."
The win for Edwards and Roush, on April 7th, was the 350th for the organization (Nextel Cup - 101; Busch Series - 90; Craftsman Truck Series - 43, various road racing - 116).
Since then, Roush Fenway Racing has already added to the list winning a another Busch race behind Matt Kenseth and a Craftsman Truck Series race with Erik Darnell.
Can Edwards or Kenseth derail Harvick at Richmond? Stay tuned.
