     (AP) – Carl Edwards remains a hot topic in NASCAR, two weeks

after his abrupt retirement as a full-time driver.

     Terry Smith, a political science professor at Columbia College, speculated in

a Wednesday piece for KBIA’s Talking Politics that Edwards will challenge U.S.

Senator Claire McCaskill in Missouri next year. McCaskill, a Democrat, is in her

second term.

     Edwards didn’t exactly rule it out when reached by The Associated Press. He

texted: “If I could help, I definitely would consider it,” though he stressed he

has no such plans for now.

     The 37-year-old Edwards has also not ruled out a return to racing.
