Carl Edwards will skip the Nationwide Series race at Road America to focus on the Sprint Cup event at Infineon Raceway. The decision to skip Saturday's race in Wisconsin was announced after Edwards qualified 23rd on Friday. He had been scheduled to fly to Road America and miss Saturday's two practice sessions in Sonoma. Now Billy Johnson, who led Nationwide practice in Edwards' car, will race Saturday. It will snap Edwards' streak of 210 consecutive starts -- the longest active streak in the Nationwide Series. "I think Billy will do a great job," Edwards said. "In the end, this puts us in the best position with both teams to perform well, so I'm grateful to be able to make the change and I feel like we are doing the right thing."
