Edwards tried to block fellow Championship 4 driver Joey Logano on the inside row after Logano got up to speed faster than the No. 19 car. Edwards pushed Logano all the way into the inside wall, but found himself caught up with more damage by creating a huge chain-reaction wreck that brought out the red flag.
