Carl Edwards' victory in the Sprint All-Star Race was a very, very expensive win. Not for Edwards, who claimed the $ 1 million prize with his first win in NASCAR's annual showcase event. But his celebratory drive through the infield grass at Charlotte Motor Speedway tore up the front of his Ford, and rebuilding that car will be costly for Roush-Fenway Racing.
