There is no time like New Year's Eve for a time of reflection.  The racing year 2009 was incredible for Edwards Motorsports and John Edwards.  Perhaps, at this time of merriment and celebration, it is appropriate to quote Tony DiZinno - 

              "John Edwards is still three years away from legally being able to drink champagne on the podium.  A pity then because he spends so much time there ! "

Yes,  2009 was that kind of year, with 9 trips to the podium to drink and spray the bubbly.   This is the year for which we now raise a glass to toast and celebrate.  This week, writing for Motorsport. com , Tony chronicles John's racing career and the highlights of the 2009 Atlantic Championship.  We hope you enjoy his story.  (Click here to read Tony's story).
