The Official Site of Carl Edwards
In just five short years, Carl Edwards has had a storied NASCAR career. Moving his way from the Craftsman Truck Series to NASCAR’s elite Sprint Cup Series, winning a Busch Series Championship and chalking up numerous wins in between, he is considered one the NASCAR’s most voracious competitors.
In the first 10 years of his career, Carl Edwards accumulated two NASCAR sanctioned track championships, three Rookie-of-the-Year honors, and 75 feature wins while racing on both dirt and pavement tracks across the country. The drive and determination that Edwards showed in those 10 years launched him into a successful NASCAR career that continues into 2007 as he sets out to compete full-time in both the NASCAR Nextel Cup and Busch Series for the third consecutive year.
Racing is not new to Edwards. His father, Carl ”Mike” Edwards, has been racing modified stock cars and USAC midgets for four decades accumulating over 200 feature wins at several Midwestern tracks. Carl Edwards, Jr. began his racing career in 1993 at the age of 13 driving four-cylinder mini-sprints.
In 1994, following his father’s winning ways, Edwards won four feature races running on the tracks around Missouri and Illinois in the mini-sprint series. Throughout the 1995 and 1996 seasons he collected 14 additional feature wins in the mini-sprint series.
