Wayne Edwards (born June 23, 1967) is an American professional driver. He has driven for numerous teams over the past eight years. He is not related to fellow stock car driver Carl Edwards despite having the same last name.
Edwards made his Truck Series debut in 2000, driving the No. 93 WorldBestBuy.com Chevy for Troxell Racing. His debut came at Homestead-Miami. There he started 30th and finished 27th, fifteen laps down. In twelve other races, his best finish was a 19th at NHIS, and posting a best qualifying effort of 27th twice. He made another pair of starts in 2001, both coming again with Troxell Racing. He was 34th at Gateway and 35th at California, failing to finish both races. However, he did set his best career start of 21st at California.
In 2002, Edwards made three starts for Team Racing. His best finish came at Darlington Raceway, where he finished 25th. He also drove at Texas Motor Speedway for Steve Portenga, finishing 33rd after an early vibration. He followed that up with eight starts in 2003, his best finish a 22nd at Texas driving the No. 95 for Scott Upshaw. He also made his Busch Series debut at Pikes Peak International Raceway driving the No. 22 for Bost Motorsports. He started 38th but finished 43rd due to a transmission failure on the first lap. Edwards ran four more races in 2004. He set his best career finish to that point with a fifteenth at Daytona International Speedway, and then had a 28th finish in the inaugural race at Atlanta driving for Troxell, but did not finish either of his next two starts in the No. 0 Loni Richardson-owned Chevy. He attempted the Emerson Radio 250 in the No. 70 Davis Motorsports Chevy, but failed to qualify.
