Carl Edwards took the racing world by storm in 2005. He fell just short of being the first driver to win a championship in his first full season. Carl wasn’t eligible to compete for rookie of the year in 2005 because he had competed in too many races in 2004 when he replaced Jeff Burton in the number 99 Roush Ford. Carl didn’t allow inexperience on the Cup Series to slow him down however. Carl visited victory lane four times in 2005 and was a surprise entry in the Chase for the Championship. Look for Carl Edwards to visit victory lane multiple times in 2006 and make another run at the championship in 2006 but I look for him to fall just short once again.
