SPRINT CUP

Tony Stewart has run his mouth for almost a month trying to rattle Carl Edwards in the race to NASCAR's championship.

Edwards has tuned it all out, and on Saturday he did his talking on the track.

Edwards won the pole for today's season finale (noon, ESPN) at Homestead-Miami Speedway in Homestead, Fla., where the Sprint Cup Series championship will be decided. Edwards goes into the Ford 400 with a three-point lead over Stewart, who qualified 15th. One of the two will bring an official end to Jimmie Johnson's record five-year run, and the pole-winning run seemed to indicate Edwards is on pace.

Edwards turned a lap at 175.467 mph in his Roush Fenway Racing Ford, besting Martin Truex Jr. and Kasey Kahne, winner last week at Phoenix.
