Mike Edwards is a humble man, a humble champion and a dedicated racer.
The 2009 NHRA Pro Stock Champion refused to count his chickens before they hatched last year, but now, with the 2010 season just around the corner, Edwards' face beams with joy when someone says, 'hey champ'.
“That sounds good doesn't it?” he says in response to the accolade.
Good enough to sustain him over the winter as the team faced the daily possibility of not being able to defend their title.
