Colin Edwards II will be at the Pepsi 400 at Daytona this weekend, invited by NASCAR driver and MotoGP fan Jeff Gordon. Gordon had his bacon saved by Edwards at the Race of Champions several years ago and has been an Edwards fan ever since.

After the car race Edwards is back in Texas on Sunday to greet his entire MotoGP team who will visit his home in Conroe and do some go-kart racing (Edwards owns a cool dozen shifter karts) and ride dirt bikes.

The team leaves for NASA for a visit the next day, then Edwards is off to southern California for some PR, then Yamaha is flyinghe and his family up to Monterey via private jet.
