Pro Stock champion Mike Edwards saw his No. 1 qualifying streak end at 12 in this weekend’s 4-Wide Nationals and zMax Dragway. So how did he respond?
Edwards cut a 0.009-second light at the start of the finals and pulled away to his third victory of the season in just four races.
Edwards, 52, isn’t exactly known for having the best reaction times, but he left Jason Line, Bob Yonke and Greg Stanfield at the starting line in Monday’s rain-delayed final.
“I must’ve been real shallow,” Edwards shrugged. “That should probably have red-lighted. Just real fortunate.”
