Carl Edwards says he will still be able to race in the Nationwide and Sprint Cup races this weekend in Atlanta, despite a broken right foot.  Edwards was in Columbia playing frisbee with his friends when the freak accident took place.

This will obviously go down as one of the goofiest sports injuries.  Edwards said in a statement, "I know this probably sounds ridiculous…I can hardly believe it myself.  I was playing frisbee with a couple of buddies and I put my foot on it, my friend dove for it and the next thing you know…we all heard a pop."

With two races left before the Cup Chase, this is certainly something he didn’t want to have happen, but he’ll wear a protective boot.  The big question will be…any backflips if he wins?
