Note to all the No. 48 fans still drunk on three-peat (hey, I'd be too if my guy was the dominant force) -- hold off on the "Miller, you're out of your mind, Jimmie Johnson is 'da best, man!" quips until we get through this, alright?Because, really, Carl Edwards is the best driver in the entire racing world.
The best, that is, according to a panel "racing jurors" -- let's hope they stick to racing awards and aren't involved in the O.J. Simpson appeal because I have a feeling they'd complement Juice's white Ford Bronco driving abilities -- who named Columbia, Missouri's finest figure* the top wheel man in, like, all of the world this week.
Edwards received the award -- the TAG Heuer Racing Award -- during the opening of the Race of Champions in England this week after those judges "analyzed the weekly performance of more than 150 drivers from Formula One, GP2, NASCAR and the World Rally Championship."
From the best of my knowledge and lack of research into the matter, this is the first year this award was given out, but none of the jurors seem to have any major NASCAR ties -- making this accomplishment that much cooler for Cousin Carl.
So props to Carl and his fans because now they have something to cheer about despite losing to Johnson in the Chase like everyone else has in the past three years. Hey, you can't win 'em all, right?
*=Edwards get that nod because I don't know anyone else from Columbia, except Chase Daniels and Oklahoma kind of put him to shame a few weeks ago.
