Greg Edwards Named 2006 Langley Speedway Track Champion

Greg Edwards, a native of Poquoson, VA, returned to Langley Speedway in 2006 with his sights set on winning the Track Championship but he knew it wouldn’t be easy. After touring with the ASA Series, Edwards returned to his home track at Langley Speedway mid-season of 2004 after the ASA demised. Finishing the 2005 season in third place, Edwards was determined to win the Championship in 2006. It took a dedicated and hard working crew, endless nights working in the shop and a lot of motivation. With many challenges throughout the season the crew pulled it together, overcame the challenges and made their way to the top.

The Top-three drivers (Greg Edwards, Mark Wertz and Danny Edwards) all went back-and-forth during the season to lead in track points. After battling the season with the other Dodges’, and a lot of trial and error, Greg and his crew found just the right car set-up to win.

During the season opener, Greg broke his own track record which he had set in 2005 but then his car blew a radiator hose during the first race putting him in tenth for the finish. It wasn’t long before he made his way to lead in the track points and he held on for the lead for five races until he dropped to second after the rear-end plug came out during the ninth race of the season. Six races later and Greg was back in the lead which he held on to until the very end.  more...
