visited victory lane on four occasions in the Cup series, with the first coming

that same year, one of his three victories for Jack Roush in 2005. Three years
later, Edwards found winners circle again in 2008, and Greg Biffle carded the
organization’s most recent win at the 2.5-mile track back in 2010.
