CONCORD, N.C. (August 4, 2011) – Roush Fenway Racing, the world’s largest motorsports organization, announced that it has re-signed driver Carl Edwards to a multi-year agreement starting in 2012.

“We saw great potential in Carl a decade ago, and it’s been a thrill to watch him grow into one of the sports’ premier drivers behind the wheel of the No. 99,” added Roush. “We didn’t take our past success for granted when we sat down with Carl to talk about his future. As an organization, we approach each week with an intense focus on being successful in the race to come. Carl’s position atop the points is a testament to that diligence.”

Sprint Cup points leader Carl Edwards is talkative about the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) race in Pocono, Pa, but remains resiliently silent about whether he’ll stay at Roush Fenway Racing or defect to Joe Gibbs Racing.

Some contracts besides the rumor-plagued scenario surrounding Edwards are in process too, but it appears racing may come first.

Regardless of “silly season” or contract negotiations, ESPN will televise the long Pocono race at 1 p.m. on August 7 for fans who can’t make it to Pennsylvania hills.
