FORT WORTH, Texas — After the rain, Carl Edwards will be racing for a championship in NASCAR’s season finale.

Jimmie Johnson was already locked into one of the title-contending spots at Homestead.

So that leaves two spots for the final four in the deciding Sprint Cup race Nov. 20. And there are six drivers — half of them Edwards’ teammates with Joe Gibbs Racing — with one more chance to claim them next Sunday at Phoenix.

Edwards got the victory he so desperately needed to advance when he won a rain-shortened race at Texas. It was cut by 41 laps because of rain late Sunday night after the start was delayed nearly six hours.

“I feel like this is what we needed to do. We were able to do that. There’s a lot of pride in that,” Edwards said. “To be able to run like we did tonight, for the pit crew to perform the way they did, it’s really great. I think it’s a testament to the team that Coach Gibbs put together.”

Gibbs drivers Kyle Busch, Matt Kenseth and Denny Hamlin are still in contention for the final spots. They go to Phoenix third through fifth in the points standings, though separated by only two points.

“Next week will be super competitive,” Gibbs said. “For us and our guys, I know all three of them want this. They really want it bad.”

Team Penske driver Joey Logano, who led a race-high 178 laps at Texas before finishing second, is listed second in the points with a tiebreaker over Kyle Bush. Kenseth is only one point back, with Hamlin one behind him.

Kevin Harvick is sixth in points, 18 back, but goes to Phoenix where he won his track-record eighth race in March and has won six of the last eight.

“We will just go there and do what we always do and race as hard as we can,” Harvick said.

If one of the remaining six contenders doesn’t win at Phoenix, the final two spots will be determined by points.

Harvick and Kurt Busch, his Stewart-Haas teammate who is 34 points back in eighth, are both likely in the position of needing a victory at Phoenix for a title chance.
