Moments after Roush Fenway Racing driver Carl Edwards bounced off the Darlington Raceway wall on lap 284 Saturday of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Southern 500, he calmly keyed his in-car microphone.

“That’s nice of my teammate to wreck me,” Edwards told his crew.

He was sarcastic, of course. It wasn’t very nice of a teammate. But Edwards did blame Greg Biffle for the wreck.

“We’ve been fighting real hard all night with our car and making progress, and Greg just got into my left rear and put me in the fence there,” Edwards said after finishing 32nd. “It’s too bad that happened. That’s a really good car. I’ve been trying to give all night and race cautiously, and we just got tangled up with him there.”

Replays weren’t conclusive, and Biffle said he didn’t hit Edwards.

“I’d have to look at the replay,” Biffle said. “Maybe I bumped him, but I really don’t think so. He cut down the hill. He
knew I was inside of him, and that happens, but I think just the air off my bumper got him loose – but I’ll have to look at the replay.

“I don’t know. It sure didn’t feel like I touched him, but it’s perfectly possible.”

Biffle later backed into the wall but rallied to finish eighth.

I was listening to his scanner at that point, and he was quite upset.

I didn't get a good look at the replay, but those Roush guys are always running into one another. They need to work together better.

I absolutely agree about the Roush guys needing to work with each other better. The whole team would be better off if that were the case.

Ford drivers have not had a good track record of staying out of each others way.
