Edwards beats Schumacher at ROC

6 Comments Quote selected text Published December 15th, 2008 in NASCAR News

Five-time world rally champ Sebastien Loeb prevailed in the Race of Champions on Sunday, but NASCAR star Carl Edwards provided the night’s biggest upset, downing Michael Schumacher in a second-round clash.

Edwards, who represented the USA with drifting standout Tanner Foust, narrowly edged the seven-time Formula One champ on the Wembley Stadium course. Edwards lost in the semifinals to former F1 driver David Coulthard, who fell to Loeb in a closely contested three-heat final. Edwards defeated English Formula 3 champ Jaime Alguersuari in the first round. Foust also provided a big-name knockout, edging Jenson Button in a first-round matchup.

In the Nations Cup team competition, Schumacher paired with Sebastian Vettel to lead Team Germany to a repeat title. Schumacher and Vettel swept through the preliminaries undefeated before turning back the Team Scandinavia contingent of Tom Kristensen and Mattias Ekstrom.

    You couldnt be more right. I know nobody on this site likes F1, but like you said if you can beat Schu you are definatley doing something. I dont like edwards that much but the guy can drive he has proven it all season and now he has proved it in the off season.

    maybe he was just having a bad day…after winning the pocono 500 roush was the same way though i dont know just leaves a sour taste in your mouth when you wait for someone for about an hour knowing your probably gonna only get a wave and than get a shoulder
