Carl Edwards is one of NASCAR's hottest drivers on the track, and now he brings that Missouri heat to ESPN The Magazine!
Ugh. Sorry. Boy, that crappy TMZ-style fluff journalism is an easy style to slip into, huh? Anyway, Carl's ditching his clothes for the fabled ESPN nekkid issue, which they've tastefully named "The Body Issue."
Anyway, Carl misplaced his shirt for one pose and his pants for another -- don't say I never did anything for ya, ladies -- and joins athletes from all the major sports who will be appearing sans uniforms. ESPN calls it a "celebration and exploration" of the human athletic body, a phrase which pretty much can be used to justify anything from art appreciation to late-night Cinemax viewing.
Here's Edwards' take on the issue, with predictably semi-cheesy NASCAR reference: "I hope it turns out well," he said. "It's kind of like going into a corner at Dover. You go in as fast as you can -- and hope it turns out all right." Ever mindful of his sponsors, Edwards made sure to check with Aflac and Ford before, you know, unleashing the guns.
One athlete who apparently won't be flashing any skin is Danica Patrick, despite previous reports to the contrary. She will indeed be appearing in the issue, but only in an interview and not as a participant. Too bad.
The issue hits newsstands October 9. Start making plans now, ladies.
