Edwards dominates a boring Texas race

Carl Edwards, aka Flipper, definitely had his car dialed in, he led the most laps and won the race on the green-white-checkered finish.  Actually the finish was the most exciting part of the race, especially from about fourth on back.

The way the race went, you could swear it was a short track, granted there weren't tons of cautions, but only ten cars finished on the lead lap with lots of teams having trouble.

Obviously Edwards had no problems, but others had many problems, going from too tight to too loose or loose to too tight and that seems to be the problem a lot of teams were battling in todays race. 

Burton continues to lead the points, with Harvick in second, Kyle Busch moved up to third, Jr. stayed in fourth and Tony Stewart moved up to fifth in points.  Of the top five, Harvick and Jr. got lucky with how badly their cars were handling to stay where they did points, they finished eleventh and twelfth.  Obviously the cars got a little better near the end, but they both had the loose/tight conditions throughout the race, Harvick for the whole race and Jr. for about the last half of the race. 

I have to say that I was surprised Harvick kept his cool on the radio with how badly the car was handling, yeah he complained about it, but he kept it clean and communicated well with his crew.

The two biggest drop in points were Biffle, who dropped six spots to ninth and Jeff Gordon, who dropped five spots to fourteenth, Biffle had a strong run going until he had mechanical problems, but Gordon had the same trouble many drivers did with the handling of the car.
