Carl Edwards is an athlete… right? I mean, he drives a car for a living and that’s classified as a motor sport. Apparently Edwards decided to try his luck with another sport: frisbee. The injury occurred when Edwards tried to claim the frisbee by stomping on it and his buddy dove to take it away. That resulted in a broken right foot. OMG, injured accelerator foot. Currently, Edwards is ranked 5th in the NASCAR standings. He still plans to race this weekend at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
Carl Edwards will race this weekend at Atlanta Motor Speedway despite breaking his right foot playing Frisbee.
Edwards is on crutches but was cleared to race in both the Nationwide and Sprint Cup Series by doctors from the University of Missouri. He is from Columbia, Mo., and was injured in a hometown game Wednesday night.
“I know this probably sounds ridiculous to a lot of people, and I could hardly believe it myself,” Edwards said yestersday. “I was playing Frisbee with a couple of buddies and we both went for the Frisbee at the same time. I put my foot on it, my friend dove for it, and the next thing you know, we all heard a pop.
“I knew it was broken and we all kind of looked at each other in disbelief that of all things, I would break my foot playing Frisbee.”
Edwards has three victories at Atlanta and is the defending race winner. He said doctors told him he’ll have no problems using the accelerator.
Edwards is fifth in the Sprint Cup Series standings with two races remaining before the title-deciding Chase for the championship begins.
