Edwards Injured In Late Model Race
Carl Edwards' luck at Nebraska Raceway Park went from bad to worse Sunday night. The NASCAR superstar was involved in a third-lap collision and left I-80 Speedway in the back of an ambulance. One track official said there had been talk of someone in the collision having a broken bone, and Carl's father, Carl Sr., said his son's hand "looked broken."

A year after wrecking in the first three laps, Edwards didn't make it past the third lap again. Edwards started the 25-lap race on the inside of row eight and was making a charge into contention early when he hit the back of a car that had spun out and gotten into the wall along the backstretch.

A 10-car pileup ensued and left Edwards' car mangled. He walked to his trailer, where he received medical attention for nearly 20 minutes before emerging with a bag draped around his right hand. He gave the crowd one last wave before getting into the back of the ambulance. Edwards was scheduled to leave Nebraska Sunday night for performance testing in Milwaukee today.

Younger brother Kenny Edwards said Carl had been transferred to Lakeside Hospital in Omaha and was awaiting results. Kenny said he thought it was a broken thumb, probably caused when it was caught in the steering wheel during the collision. Kenny Edwards suffered the same injury in the collision and was shaking hands with his left hand after the race but said it wasn't as severe as his brothers.

Before the accident, it was a decal on the back of the younger Edwards' car that had been Carl's biggest complaint.

Kenny sported a "Carl Who?" decal on the spoiler of his No. 25 Super Late Model car, semi-mocking the hype surrounding his brother's appearance.

"I didn't think it was very funny," Carl said tongue-in-cheek. "No, this is a great night. I love coming to this track. It's got such a great family atmosphere and it's just so fun racing here."(omaha.com)
