In six Cup Series starts at Daytona, Edwards has one top-five, one top-10 and one top-15 finish. Best finish at Daytona came last July in the Pepsi 400 when he finished fourth, while pushing teammate Jamie McMurray to victory. Edwards has one win at Daytona International Speedway: in February 2004 he drove the No. 99 Superchips F-150 to his first truck win of the season. He'll drive the Roush Fenway #60 Ford in the Nationwide race and the #99 Ford in the Daytona 500.(Roush Fenway Racing PR)

Edwards returned to form in 2007 as he won three races, and qualified for the Chase for the Championship. He placed 9th in the final championship standings. However, Edwards encountered much denigration following an on-going feud with his Roush Fenway Racing teammate Matt Kenseth. At Martinsville in October, Edwards shoved Kenseth and drew his fist back as if he were going to punch his teammate. Many drivers in the garage, including several of Edwards' teammates uttered disparaging words towards him.

Edwards, a driver for Roush Fenway Racing in the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series, joined Roush Racing in 2003 and began winning in the Craftsman Truck Series quickly. In 2004, after winning and performing well, and upon the departure of Jeff Burton over sponsorship issues, took over the #99 Ford Taurus and ran the final 14 races in 2004.

Edwards continued to be the Cinderella story of the 2005 season as he won at Pocono Raceway in June. He would remarkably clinch a spot in the Chase for the Championship when established drivers such as Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhardt Jr, and Kevin Harvick were shut out of the top ten. During the Chase for the Championship, Edwards would add two more wins to his resume at Atlanta Motor Speedway and Texas Motor Speedway. Following the final race at Homestead-Miami Speedway, Edwards would end up tied with his Roush Fenway Racing teammate Greg Biffle for second in the championship standings, just 35 points behind Tony Stewart.

Edwards not only broke his own slump but ... a 12-race winless streak for Ford in a season when Chevrolets had won 13 of the first 14 races. Ford hadn't won since Edwards' Roush Fenway Racing teammate, Matt Kenseth, took the second race of year, Feb. 25 at California Speedway.
