Carl Edwards made Roush Fenway Racing the unlikely organization to end Hendrick Motorsports' five-race winning streak. Edwards stopped the Hendrick juggernaut with a win Sunday at Sonoma Raceway, the first career victory for Edwards on a road course. Edwards took the lead on a restart with 25 laps remaining and seemed to have the win wrapped up, but Jeff Gordon nearly chased him down on the final lap. I grew up watching Jeff Gordon do well here, so to have him in my mirror, that is very special.'' It wasn't a terrible day for the Hendrick organization, which had won every Sprint Cup Series race since Jeff Gordon's victory at Kansas on May 10.
