One of the many things I like about Carl Edwards is that he takes off his sunglasses when one of the media stops him for an interview. I feel that he isn’t trying to hide something behind the glasses, that he wants to connect with the fans. Besides I think he has really nice eyes. He is such a mid-westerner, the type of guy you just want to take home to your mamma and know that he won’t embarrass you. He is definitely a “Yes Mam”, “No Sir” type of guy. Well educated, well mannered, most of the time well behaved.
Carl Edwards has been known to show a little bit of the redneck race car driver side of him. One time when the media was interviewing Matt Kenseth, another Nascar Sprint Cup Champion and a teammate of Carl’s, he was upset with Matt for something that happened on the track. As Carl was walking by Matt Kenseth, Carl stopped and grabbed Matt’s shirt and threw a fake punch at him. It was on YouTube and may still be. It was so uncharacteristic of Carl that it lead some people to ask if he was on some type of performance enhancing drugs that made him act crazy and in front of the media no less. Granted this was not one of his finer moments, but everyone gets irritated at some point and at least he didn’t hit him on camera or at the Speedway which would have resulted in a point loss for Carl Edwards, Nascar is very serious about a drivers actions on track and at any of the Speedways.
