Carl Edwards, who has no road course experience, tested the #60 Busch Series Ford with accomplished road racer Boris Said at Virginia International Raceway. The tests were in preparation for Sunday’s road race in Mexico. Said was thoroughly impressed with Edwards’ work ethic and potential. “I told (MB2 G.M.) Jay Frye he should have hired Carl,” Said says. “He’s one of the nicest kids, the real deal. He was a good listener and great learner. He’s got quite a future.” Edwards finished sixth in Saturday’s Busch race and is third in points; he finished fifth in Sunday’s Cup race and is fourth in points.(FoxSports/Sporting News)(2-28-2005)
