Way to go, Carl

One of my former students at the University of Missouri, Carl Edwards, is a driver on the NASCAR circuit. He drives the #99 car in the Truck Series and is currently in 4th place in the overall standings. He was promoted to the big circuit, the Nextel Circuit, and drives the #99 Green Lantern car (how cool is that?). He took third place in the Bass Pro Shops MBNA 500 on Sunday after coming into contact with Dale Earnhardt Jr's car with 15 laps to go, sending Jr. into the wall.
