A Driving Cause
Posted by VeRonda Wicks May 15th, 2008Sometimes having all the money in the world doesn’t seem to quench the thirst of wanting to help others. Seeing someone else succeed is most certainly a fulfillment that has much of nothing to do with a price tag. It’s the sacrifice made that makes everything else worth living. What a wonderful legacy to leave that with all the acclaim and success obtained, that someone else was able to truly benefit from it.
Racing this weekend in Charlotte is the signature flipper, Carl Edwards. A NASCAR phenomenon known for his signature celebratory back flip (Kids, don’t try this at home.), Edwards is spinning more than tires (You’ll appreciate that line in a second.).
I don’t think you could guess this even if you wanted to (Wait. Ponder. Breathe.)…
He has a record label [Back 40 Records] geared toward helping artists fulfill their dreams. Were you close?
Now what could be better than that??
The No. 99 Roush Racing Ford driver admits that it took him a long time to figure out his dream of becoming a professional driver and it is as important to him to help someone else’s dream come true as well (Seriously… tear, tear).
With no prior experience, Edwards just bought the equipment and turned a space into a professional recording studio. Being from the small town of Columbia, MO, Edwards was familiar with several artists who just needed that big break and felt that he could be the catalyst to make their big breaks happen. In his own words, Edwards realizes that everyone has ability and that all they need is opportunity. He says there is nothing better than being that opportunity for someone.
Wow… Be sure to check Edwards out this weekend. And let me know if you see a flip or two.

I am not a fan of car racing, however, it is good to know about the other activities of those who enjoy this sport. This article was very informative.
