Carl Edwards held off Jimmie Johnson Sunday at Texas Motor Speedway to win his series best third race of the young season.

Edwards received a 100-point penalty for failing a post-race inspection a few weeks ago, but he said he isn’t going to allow those outside things to affect his driving.

He was dominant over the weekend, nearly winning the pole before Dale Earnhardt Jr. just nudged him out.

Kyle Busch, Ryan Newman and Denny Hamlin rounded out the top five.
