His brief career in top-level motorsport spanned the 1957 season, during which he drove for the Kurtis Kraft team. Edmunds did not score points, achieve podium finishes, or secure pole positions in his sole race appearance.

Despite the limited number of entries, Edmunds demonstrated a notable average gain of eight positions per race, reflecting competitive racecraft in his lone outing. His career statistics show a 0.0% win, podium, and DNF rate, indicating he completed his only race without incident but did not reach the front-running positions.
