Carl Edwards will return to the NASCAR Nationwide Series next
weekend at Watkins Glen International, driving the No. 60 Subway Ford Mustang.
It will be Edwards’ first appearance in the series this season, after running
full time the past seven years. Subway, which also sponsors Edwards in the
Sprint Cup Series, will serve as primary sponsor at The Glen.
“I’m very excited about running the No. 60 Subway Ford Mustang in
my first Nationwide Series race of the year,” Edwards said. “It’s great to have
Subway on board and it will be fun to be back in the 60 car. The Nationwide
race at Watkins Glen is almost like a Sprint Cup event because of the length of
the race. It’s a very long and tough race, and there is a lot of competition
with all the road course specialists. There are always a lot of really fast
guys there, so it’s a race that will test the equipment and
our strategy. The guys are working very hard on the car and it would be big to
win a road course race there."
In
seven Nationwide starts at Watkins Glen, Edwards has earned two Top-5 finishes
and led 25 laps. He has also claimed victories on the road courses at Montreal
and Road America in Nationwide competition. In 17 Nationwide starts on road
courses, Edwards has two wins, seven Top-5 and 10 Top-10 finishes.
