Edwards Wins 3rd Race In 2008

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) - Carl Edwards held off Jimmie Johnson

over a two-lap overtime sprint to the finish to win Sunday at Texas

Motor Speedway.

It was Edwards' series-best third victory of the season, but

first since his team was severely penalized for not having its oil

tank covered following his win last month in Las Vegas. Edwards was

docked 100 points - which knocked him out of the Sprint Cup Series

points lead - and his crew chief was suspended for six races.

But with Robbie Reiser filling in atop the pit box, Edwards

dominated the race and denied Johnson his first win of the season.
