Edwards' wife expecting
CONCORD, N.C. -- Carl Edwards says he'll become a first-time father at the start of next NASCAR season.
Edwards' wife, Kate, is due in mid-February. The couple is having a girl, and Edwards joked they'll name her "Daytona" because her birth is projected around the season-opening Daytona 500.
Edwards says they went for the ultrasound this week to learn the gender, and the nervous dad-to-be "almost passed out" when he saw the baby move.
