Stanfield went to the semi's in 1999 in Pro Stock Truck, and is 0-1 in Pro Stock competition at Indy. Stanfield stole that one. Smith was by no means late, but Stanfield was brilliant at the Tree and had enough to hold off the hard-charging Smith.

These two have never raced, and Koretsky is the 53rd different driver that Edwards has faced.
