Edwards re-signs with Roush Fenway

August 4, 2011 By Bill Pollock

Columbia native and NASCAR star Carl Edwards will re-sign with Roush Fenway Racing, inking a multi-year deal beginning in 2012.

Team owner Jack Roush released this statement: “We saw great potential in Carl a decade ago, and it’s been a thrill to watch him grow into one of the sports’ premier drivers behind the wheel of the No. 99,” added Roush. “We didn’t take our past success for granted when we sat down with Carl to talk about his future. As an organization, we approach each week with an intense focus on being successful in the race to come. Carl’s position atop the points is a testament to that diligence.”

Edwards is the current points leader in the Sprint Cup Standings and has 19 career wins and 80 top-five finishes.

Edwards released a statement as well: “I sincerely appreciate the amazing opportunity that Jack Roush has given me in this sport and am honored to race for him,” Edwards said. “As an organization, Roush Fenway provides the resources I need to win, and as a driver, that’s the most important thing. We’re having a fun season on the race track as we’re leading the points and in great position for the Chase. That’s the result of a lot of hard work from the men and women at Roush Fenway, Ford Motor Company and Roush Yates Engines. I really enjoy competing with this group and looking forward to continuing that relationship into the future.”
