NASCAR driver Carl Edwards does backflip into Biscayne Bay
> Posted by Sarah Talalay on October 23, 2009 04:51 PM

In advance of the Nov. 22 NASCAR Sprint Cup finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway, Sprint Cup driver Carl “ESPN Body Issue cover model” Edwards, made a stop in South Florida this week.

Edwards, now sponsored by Aflac, wore a company tie covered with ducks, and took a ride on a Duck Tours Miami land and sea vehicle. He even agreed to make one of his signature backflips off the vessel into the bay. See the video below.

The driver of the No. 99 Aflac Ford Fusion is a fan of the Homestead track, having captured both the Ford 300 Nationwide and Ford 400 Sprint Cup series races during Ford Championship Weekend last year.

POSTED IN: Auto Racing (23), Sponsorship (48)

Hope he got a gama-globulin shot after diving into Biscayne bay.
Go 'cousin' Carl!
