Edwards pulls away late for Michigan victory

BROOKLYN, Mich. -- Carl Edwards passed Roush Fenway Racing teammate Ricky Stenhouse Jr. on Lap 117 of 125 and pulled away to win Saturday's Alliance Truck Parts 250 Nationwide Series race at Michigan International Speedway.

The victory was Edwards' fourth this season and the 33rd of his career. Stenhouse came home second, followed by Kyle Busch, pole-sitter Paul Menard and Trevor Bayne.

Edwards had stretched his lead to one second over Stenhouse when NASCAR called a caution on Lap 93 after Aric Almirola spun in Turn 2. Mark Martin, however, was on pit road when the caution flag came out and inherited the top spot when the rest of the lead-lap cars came to the pits under caution.

After the restart on Lap 101, Edwards quickly dispatched Martin, with Busch following into second position. But Stenhouse soon grabbed second from Busch and quickly tracked down Edwards, passing him for the lead on Lap 104.
