Does anyone think that Carl will win a championship in 2009 or 2010? I think that there is a good chance that he will if he continues doing what he has done in 2008.

Carl Edwards is one of the most talented drivers in the field today. hide show

Carl is one the most talented drivers in NASCAR. He drives for Jack Roush and has already won several races and a Nationwide championship in his short career in NASCAR racing. He is one of the most popular drivers. Every time he wins, he does his trademark backflip off of the car. He never keeps the trophies he wins and always gives them to a child in need. Carl does show his temper from time to time, but is generally a really great person. He is also one of the most physically fit drivers in NASCAR, along with Mark Martin (a former teammate).
