Even NASCAR Racers Need ID To Board Plane

Busch Series Point Leader Unable To Board Charter Flight Friday

Even with NASCAR racing considered the number one spectator sport in the country with an estimated 75 million fans (sorry football and baseball fans), racers still need an ID to board a plane, as several teammates found out last week.

Carl Edwards, current Busch Series point leader, and Roush Fenway Racing teammate David Regan were unable to board their charter flight from Michigan because they were without identification, a public relations representative confirmed Friday.

They were traveling to Kentucky Speedway for Friday's Busch Series practice.

The Busch Series, for those unfamiliar with it, is a stock car racing series owned and operated by NASCAR and is considered NASCAR's "minor league" circuit (often compared to Triple-A baseball), a proving ground for drivers who are aiming for the organization's "big league" circuit, the Nextel Cup.

While their IDs were being retrieved, the two racers still planned on flying to Kentucky later Friday.

In another arena, Edwards joined the crew of the US Navy Carrier USS Enterprise on June 9th to observe what the men and women do on a daily basis on behalf of the country.

A video of his experience onboard and what his impression of those who may be put in harm's way in defense of the country is available here.
