Edwards wins the rain delayed Fontana race
Today fans finally got to see the race and it was typical of the California race today without a ton of cautions, unlike yesterday. Today showed long green flag runs and the leader basically running away with the race, which is typical of this track. After the last caution the race went green on lap 224 - Carl Edwards was in fourth, but thanks to Gordon and Johnson fighting for the lead among themselves, it allowed Edwards to get past the third place car and the other lap cars. Johnson beat out Gordon in their fight for the lead, but Edwards was closing fast, Gordon didn't fight Edwards too much, which surprised me, but Johnson did put up a fight until Edwards finally cleared him and then he just cruised away.
Another good finish for Kahne and his fans, hopefully leaving last years dreadful performance behind them. Kyle Busch and Martin Truex also had top ten finishes, drivers most people said wouldn't be a factor this year, add Vickers with his 11th place finish and we're seeing some different drivers finishing near the top so far this year, which is good.
Two races down and two different winners, a good start to the season!

Roush typically does well at this track for the Winter race.
Did I hear right that Jeff G blew an engine just prior to the caution coming out?
Gordon didn't have anything for Edwards so instead of trying to race him with a lesser car and possibly wrecking, let him go. It's all about big pitcher racing.
