EDWARDS JOINS ‘UNLIMITED’ FIELD
Carl Edwards of Roush Fenway Racing is the eighth driver this season to have their name placed on the eligibility list for next year’s Sprint Unlimited at Daytona non-points special event that features pole winners from the previous season and traditionally kicks off Speedweeks at “The World Center of Racing.”  Edwards secured the Number-1 starting spot for this past weekend’s Quicken Loans 400 at Michigan International Speedway with a lap of 202.452 miles per hour.  He finished eighth in Sunday’s race.  Edwards joins Danica Patrick, Mark Martin, Kyle Busch, Denny Hamlin, Jimmie Johnson, Matt Kenseth and Kurt Busch as 2013 Cup Series pole winners now eligible for the 2014 “Unlimited.”

FORD WINS ‘MANUFACTURER’S TROPHY’
Greg Biffle, one of Edwards’ teammates at Roush Fenway Racing, drove to victory in Sunday’s Quicken Loans 400 at Michigan International Speedway and in the process, made Ford Motor Company the inaugural recipient of the “Manufacturer’s Trophy.”  M-I-S introduced the award this past weekend.  It will recognize the winning manufacturer after each of its two annual Sprint Cup Series races.  NASCAR returns to the Irish Hills oval in two months for the August 18th Pure Michigan 400 … which was won last year by Biffle.

GOODYEAR TESTS IN ATLANTA
Goodyear Tire testing continues this week with a single-day session scheduled today for Atlanta Motor Speedway.  Drivers expected to participate include Marcos Ambrose of Richard Petty Motorsports, Joe Gibbs Racing’s Denny Hamlin, Kasey Kahne of Hendrick Motorsports and Roush Fenway Racing rookie Ricky Stenhouse Junior.  Hamlin, Kahne and Stenhouse are all former winners at A-M-S, either in the Sprint Cup or Nationwide Series.  Ambrose will be seeking his first victory on the mile-and-a-half Hampton, Georgia, oval when the Cup Series returns for the Advo-Care 500 on Sunday, September 1st … Those four drivers are among forty-two who will be heading west later this week for the first road racing weekend of the season in Sonoma, California.

TRACK FACTS
► Kyle Larson of Turner Scott Motorsports had the highest finish by a rookie in either of NASCAR’s top two series that competed this past weekend, placing second (to Regan Smith) in Saturday’s Alliance Truck Parts 250 Nationwide Series race at Michigan International Speedway.
► Austin Dillon of Richard Childress Racing set a Nationwide Series record with his fourth straight pole on Saturday.  He posted a quick lap of 191.882 miles per hour, also breaking the M-I-S qualifying record he had set a year earlier – by three tenths of a second.  Dillon led a race-high sixty-one laps on Saturday but was slowed by a flat tire and finished twentieth, two laps down to race winner Smith … There are forty-three drivers on the preliminary entry list for Saturday’s Johnsonville Sausage 200 at Road America, the first of three Nationwide Series road races this season.  Nelson Piquet Junior is the defending winner.

ON THIS DATE
June 18th, 2005: Carl Edwards set a Kentucky Speedway qualifying record for the Nationwide Series with a lap of 181.287 miles per hour.  He also won the race later in the day.  Edwards’ mark still stands as the Nationwide Series returns to “The Bluegrass State” next week for the June 28th Feed the Children 300.
