2012 Dayton 500 Las Vegas Odds: Carl Edwards on Pole for Sunday Race
Tuesday, February 21, 2012

Carl Edwards was caught from behind in the final race of the season in 2011 to lose the Sprint Cup championship. He'll start 2012 as the driver to catch.
Edwards won the pole for next weekend's season-opening Daytona 500, beating out teammate Greg Biffle during qualifying Sunday at Daytona International Speedway.

A fast lap of 194.738 mph secured the pole for Edwards, who posted the fastest time in winning the pole since Jeff Gordon in 1999.
Biffle turned a fast lap of 194.087 mph to join his Roush Fenway Racing teammate on the front row.
The top two spots were the only ones settled Sunday. The remainder of the starting grid will be determined in Thursday's dual 150-mile qualifying races.
"It's neat to come down here and to be so fast and to really have fun qualifying here," Edwards said. "We've struggled so much in the past, and so many guys have put so much effort in this offseason."
Edwards led the Chase for the Cup into the season finale last year, but lost the championship to Tony Stewart, who won the race and the title by a tiebreaker after Edwards' runner-up finish.
