I have to say one of the best finishes to a race that I've seen in awhile. Too bad the race end was this exciting last year when I was actually there! Carl passed Jimmie on the final lap, winning by only 0.028 seconds--about half a car length. He completed the weekend sweep winning both the Busch race on Saturday along with the Nextel Cup win Sunday. He is the first driver to complete this feat in Atlanta, and adds himself to the list of drivers winning races in all 3 series, Craftsman Truck, Busch and Nextel Cup. To celebrate his victory Carl Edwards climbed out of his car, balanced himself on the window ledge, gave a quick glance over his shoulder to make sure all was clear, then launched into the air backward. Completing his signature move--the backflip. Congratulations to Carl Edwards on his Nextel Cup win!
