[naviga:h3]Edwards earns Sprint Cup pole at Bristol[/naviga:h3]
BRISTOL, Tenn. — Carl Edwards is looking for Sprint Cup gold and there are few more successful spots him this season than Bristol Motor Speedway.
Edwards won from the pole at the track in April and on Friday led Joe Gibbs Racing’s Olympic-style, 1-2-3 sweep of the top three spots in qualifying for the Saturday night race.
“Hopefully, we’ll be sitting here tomorrow night at the end of this deal talking about how we did it in the race,” Edwards said. “That’d be pretty neat.”
Edwards had a fast lap of 131.407 mph on the concrete surface of the half-mile track in the final segment of the qualifying.
