TALLADEGA, Ala. — Carl Edwards endured a sour stomach last Sunday at Texas Motor Speedway and still managed to finish third in the Samsung Mobile 500 Sprint Cup Series race.

Afterward, he blamed his mother’s cooking for the gastric distress.

“My mom made a little dish,” Edwards said. “I think one of the ingredients might have been bad. I think it might have been her first attempt at it.”

Talk about throwing Mom under the motor home.

Edwards’ mother, Nancy Sterling, laughed it off. She did point out that the beans-and-rice dish Edwards had identified as the culprit was made with ingredients fresh out of boxes and cans, and that others had eaten it without incident.

“I thought it was hilarious,” she said Friday. “A number of people said to me that Carl should apologize on national television, but I thought it was funny — and I don’t have to cook anymore.”
