CLERMONT, Ind. — Carl Edwards has an idea that would revolutionize racing.
He’d be in favor of starting the fastest cars in the back so the fans could enjoy watching them blow past their competition while trying to get to the front.
Edwards explained his unique idea after giving a good example of why such a plan might work. He came from the back of the pack Saturday to win the Nationwide Series race at O’Reilly Raceway Park.
Edwards started 42nd out of 43 drivers because he spent the day at Brickyard 400 qualifying and got into the Saturday night race on owner points. He moved up 15 spots by the end of the fourth lap, and took the lead for good in lap 179.
Kyle Busch, who started 41st and qualified because of owner points, finished second.
