Carl Edwards talks through the restart that led to the wreck and his early exit from Homestead-Miami. Edwards said it was the "race of my life" up until the wreck.

Carl Edwards recounted the restart that led to a wreck with Joey Logano and his exit from championship contention. Edwards said it was the “race of my life” up until that point.

“I think it was shared, you know what I mean?” Edwards said of the wreck. “I think it was just racing. I haven’t seen a real close up view, but the way I had it figured is first of all that was the race of my life up to that point. That was a lot of fun and Joey (Logano) was so good on the short run. I don’t know how he got that restart. It was a really good restart. I thought we were – I thought everything was going to work out and Jason (Hedlesky, spotter) told me he was looking low and I – he told me basically he was there. I knew what Jason was saying and I just pushed the issue as far as I could because I figured that was the race there and so here let me watch it again.

“Joey just timed it perfectly, he moved down, I thought I could feel him a little and I just thought that – I was probably a little optimistic, but I thought I could clear him or force him to lift. I just thought I had just a little more time, but he drove down as far as a guy could be expected to drive down and that’s how it ended. I don’t know what the caution was for. I really hope it was something that we needed to have a caution for because that was really – that was going really well.”
