Edwards is 6 - 4 against Jones in prior events and this is the first time they have faced each other in a final round. Jones had to put an engine in it between rounds. He then took a shot at the tree and turned on the red light. Edwards got real loose around half track and pushed in the clutch for the easy win. This is his seventh win in eight final rounds this year and his 27th career win.
