NASCAR Star Edwards Makes Acting Debut
Associated Press

NASCAR star Carl Edwards seems to make everything look easy.
First it was winning in a Nextel Cup car and now it‘s acting.

"First I have to thank California Speedway for setting this up,
this is a lot of fun," said Edwards, who finished third in the 2005
Cup points. "I definitely think acting is something I‘d like to do
more of. I had such a blast being on the set of ‘24‘.

Kiefer Sutherland , who plays the lead character, Jack Bauer, on
the show, wasn‘t in the scene with Edwards, but still critiqued his
performance.

When asked if he would like to try his hand at racing, Sutherland
said, "My line of work is inherently less dangerous than his. Yeah,
I wouldn‘t mind taking (a race car) for a spin but I certainly
wouldn‘t even get it to half the speed those guys do racing."

"I invited him out to the race at California in a few weeks to get
a behind-the-scenes look at what we do," Edwards said.

I know I was in awe of everything that it takes to put together a
production like ‘24.‘
