Homestead-Miami Speedway Brings NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Championship Contender Carl Edwards to Miami

Carl Edwards, currently tied for first in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, joins Homestead-Miami Speedway and Contender Boats at Sun Life Stadium for a one-of-a-kind media and fan event – including a Ford Mustang giveaway if Edwards makes field goals of various distances – to promote Ford Championship Weekend on Nov. 18-20. The Miami Dolphins will hold the third annual Touchdown for Lifeblood drive from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. This is one of the largest single-day blood drives in the state of Florida.  This year, the Dolphins and Florida’s Blood Center hope to break the previous record of 1,565 pints of blood set last year.

 

Edwards, driver of the Roush Fenway Racing No. 99 AFLAC Ford Fusion, is the defending 2010 Ford 400 winner at Homestead-Miami Speedway.  In seven career NASCAR Sprint Cup Series starts in South Florida, Edwards has four Top-5 and six Top-10 finishes including two victories (2008, 2010). He and his Roush Fenway Racing teammates have won seven of the 12 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

 

PLEASE NOTE: Edwards is speaks Spanish so this event is a great opportunity for all South Florida media to meet with one of NASCAR’s best drivers. Spanish-language media are encouraged to attend.
