Carl Edwards waited, and when his chance finally came, he took it. Edwards used the old Bristol tactic to pass Kyle Busch – the dominant driver for most of the race– and held on to win the Sharpie 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway on Saturday night.
Edwards used the “Bristol bump-and-run,” in turn one to pass Busch on lap 469 and never relinquished the lead.
Busch bumped Edwards after the race in an obvious sign of displeasure at Edwards' physical pass. Edwards' returned the favor, spinning Busch in the track’s front stretch. The site of Busch’s spinning car garnered a loud cheer from the fans.
“They keep talking about rivalries, we might have one now,” Busch told television reporters moments after the race.
Edwards started on the poll and held the top spot until lap 55 when he tangled with the lapped car of Juan Pablo Montoya. Kyle Busch, running in third place, passed Edwards and opened up a sizable lead that he held until Edwards caught him for the winning pass.
Same as last year at Bristol Motor Speedway, Lee Roy Mercer helped to celebrate the win in Victory Lane with Edwards, Jack Roush, and the 99 Team at Bristol Motor Speedway.
"That's two Sharpie 500 wins at Bristol two years in a row for Carl and I was here with him and Mr. Jack Roush to celebrate it both times. Third time's gonna be a charm," Mercer told television reporters in Victory Lane.
Edwards' Sharpie 500 win in 2007 at Bristol Motor Speedway was Win #99 for ROUSH in Cup. It was also Ford's first victory with the Car of Tomorrow.

NASCAR Community
I have been a fan of racing for many years. I have seen many pictures of fans while they were with their specific favorites including teams and drivers and even an occasional pit crew member, all with one thing in common. Most if not all are of the fan smiling while getting their shot,,, there are others who take time to make the one who is the Star feel as if they could relax and just be themselves. I have had opportunities to meet and talk with drivers and it has happened to me,, the excitement,, actually seeing a Living Legend or a Favorite Driver can easily overcome even the most experienced fan, so when I see pics of drivers with a fan and the Driver or person ‘Starring’ has a smile on their face, knowing they must feel at ease, well that to me is impressive for the simple reason that the fan thought to think of someone other than themselves, even in all the excitement, they thought of the driver first.
One such feller is well known and has a following all his own. He is a member of the NASCAR community, often, letting us all know that there are New Pics we can see, that without him taking them, we would have never of had the chance to see our (your) favorites, in that light.
LEE ROY MERCER
A Fans Fan is usually in places we all wish we could be. He has well known friends that allow him opportunities to do what we all want to do. Most of us can not do the things he does for one reason or another, but we have a friend who is just like us,,, a fan,,, a fans fan cause he knows what we would do,,, he is a fan too,,,, he knows what we would have done and even when he himself may not have done it,, he does anyway just so we can see what it was we wanted to see,,,, just as if we were there,,,, Kinda like the old Memorex Commercials,, “Is it Live or is it Lee Roy Mercer?”
For those of you who do not know who Mr. Mercer is,, well take a gander at some of his pics,, and add him, then give him a shout,,, he will let you know where you can hear him pull off some of the Best Danged Pranks on some of the Biggest Stars in NASCAR as well as in other Entertainment Fields,,,,,, An no,, I Ain’t Getting Paid!
