Back flip count: 3... now I'm starting to flip!

So another Carl Edwards victory, followed by another back flip. When will it stop? I am setting the over/under at 7 back flips, and i am taking the over. I am beginning to feel that the only way we will see an end to this is if Mr. Edwards suffers an ankle sprain on a back flip gone bad. That might be the only way Carl can be stopped. He certainly is not going to get stopped on the track, especially at these cookie cutter tracks, or the 2 mile ovals, or the restrictor plate tracks. Crazy Carl is looking as good as a loaf of wonder bread to an Atkins dieter. The man just loves driving, and driving is his job, and well lets face it he is pretty good at his job. The 99 is -184 in the standings, sitting in 9th place. Imagine if he was not docked that 100 spot earlier in the season, he would be in 4th place, and poised for an intransigent run at the title. Not to say that his title hopes are out of reach, i am just playing the what if game here. You may remember i called out Carl in week 1, stating that i can not root for anything that has to do with  Fenway Park, and i am now eating crow with egg on my face. I feel it is time for a new approach, what if i jump on the 99 bandwagon? Will that then start a repugnant chain of events filled with DNF's and blown motors? Maybe, then again maybe not. I chose Carl to win in my fantasy racing league last week and next thing you know he is back flipping in Texas. I would like to believe that Carl's win had little to do with his driving skills, and a whole lot to do with my prognostication.
