Office Depot and Carl Edwards

Delray Beach-based Office Depot continues to leverage its sponsorship of NASCAR driver Carl Edwards and his No. 99 Office Depot Ford -- this time offering fans a chance to “Win Carl’s Laptop.”
The office products company recently launched a new commercial featuring Edwards showing off the latest office products and gadgets and nearly driving off with a laptop on his car’s roof. The company is hoping fans can relate, particularly if they’ve ever driven off -- or almost driven off -- with a coffee cup or other item on the top of their car. Watch the commercial at officedepotracing.com.
Fans have until Aug. 5 to enter the contest for a chance to win the Toshiba Satellite notebook computer featured in the ad. The promotion asks: “Would you flip if you won Carl’s Laptop?” – playing on the signature backflip Edwards performs after winning races.
