CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Carl Edwards may have to forego a backflip if he wins this weekend at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
The three-time winner at AMS fractured his right foot playing frisbee on Wednesday. FoxSports.com first reported the story.
“I know this probably sounds ridiculous to a lot of people and I could hardly believe it myself,” Edwards said in statement. “I was playing frisbee with a couple of buddies and we both went for the Frisbee at the same time. I put my foot on it, my friend dove for it, and the next thing you know…we all heard a pop. “I knew it was broken and we all kind of looked at each other in disbelief that of all things, I would break my foot playing frisbee.”
Officials at Roush Fenway Racing said Edwards may have to be on crutches this weekend, but that the medical report indicated he would have no problem participating in Saturday night’s Nationwide race or Sunday’s Sprint Cup race. He said doctors told him he’ll have no problems using the accelerator.
