Carl Edwards’ title hopes ended when he threw a block on Joey Logano with less than 10 laps remaining in NASCAR’s championship finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Sunday.
Carl Edwards’ NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship hopes end in late wreck
Martin Truex Jr.’s car also caught fire in the massive wreck.
Edwards was the best running of the four title finalists when on a restart he attempted to block Logano (also title-eligible), resulting in Edwards cutting across Logano’s front-end and crashing into the inside wall.
In the aftermath, a chain-reaction accident ensued including Martin Truex Jr., whose car erupted into flames that engulfed the front of the No. 78 Toyota. No drivers involved were injured.
Jimmie Johnson and Kyle Busch were the beneficiaries of Edwards’ accident, as they moved to first and second in the provisional championship order.
NASCAR red-flagged the race for cleanup.
