If you read the title of this post and asked yourself, Why I wrote "Carlington" instead of "Darlington" I will gladly explain.

After he did his victory backflip and did his victory burnout, Carl Edwards's team went the the inside wall on the Darlington Raceway front stretch, and covered up part of the D in Darlington to make it a C, spelling "Carlington" in a jokeful honor or Carl Edwards.

Edwards won tonight's 66th running of the Southern 500, and he sure did it in style too.

After a tire miscue early in the race, Edwards rebounded to win tonight's race.

"I loved it. This is as good as it gets. This is what it's about - sliding cars, the tires are falling off," Edwards said. "If there's any way we can run this in the Chase..."
