Carl Edwards also won there that fall to give Roush Fenway the season sweep. All in all, six drivers have won NASCAR races for Roush Fenway at PIR (Martin, Biffle, Edwards, Kurt Busch, Matt Kenseth and Joe Ruttman). In addition, Edwards swept Phoenix in the fall of 2010, winning both the NXS and NSCS events.

Short Track Prowess
In 592 NSCS starts on short tracks, Roush Fenway has earned 22 victories, 116 top-fives, 228 top-10s, 25 pole positions and has led 7,576 laps. Roush Fenway’s most recent victory on a short track came last season at Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway in the spring event with Edwards.
