CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Carl Edwards remains a hot topic in NASCAR, two weeks after his abrupt retirement as a full-time driver.
Terry Smith, a political science professor at Columbia College, speculated in a Wednesday piece for KBIA’s Talking Politics that Edwards will challenge U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill in Missouri nextyear. McCaskill, a Democrat, is in her second term.
Edwards didn’t exactly rule it out when reached by The Associated Press. He texted: “If I could help, I definitely would consider it,” though he stressed he has no such plans for now.
The 37-year-old Edwards has also not ruled out a return to racing.
