Carl Edwards to space, Matt Kenseth to class to promote Daytona 500
The "Road to the Daytona 500" sent Joe Gibbs Racing teammates Carl Edwards to space and Matt Kenseth to class.
On Thursday, Edwards made a stop by the Kennedy Space Center in Central Florida to help promote the 2016 Daytona 500 (Sunday, Feb. 21 on FOX). Meanwhile, Kenseth was at the University of South Florida with USF alumnus (and DIS president) Joie Chitwood.
