Who's Not?

I hate to pick on Carl Edwards, I really do! The guy is such a winner in so many ways. Everything he does in life, he does it to the extreme and never once doubts himself.

His 2006 season to date has not gone as Carl wished. He currently sits in 17th spot, 125 points out of qualifying for the Nextel Cup Championship race. It seems the luck Greg Biffle recently found has been lost in Carl Edward's pits.

 However, unlike Biffle, I'm not sure we can fault luck for Carl's lack of success in 2006.  Carl's crew chief from last year and the early part of 2006, Bob Osborne, was shuffled over to help jump start Jamie McMurray's team. Obviously, the shuffle has not gone as planned. Both Carl Edwards and Jamie McMurray (currently 20th in the points) stand a strong chance of not qualifying for the championship race-off at the end of the season. Jack Roush and the rest of management at Roush Racing will soon have to decide whether to leave Bob with Jamie; or re-unite him with Carl to form the successful duo that shocked the world of NASCAR in 2006.
