BRISTOL, Tenn. – Carl Edwards says he has committed to racing the full Nationwide Series schedule next season.

Edwards says he'll drive the full season in NASCAR's second-tier series even if he's not eligible to race for the Nationwide championship.

NASCAR is currently discussing rule changes to the Nationwide Series to develop its brand. One of the proposals is making full-time Sprint Cup drivers ineligible for the title.

Edwards is in his sixth season running a full Nationwide schedule. He won the championship in 2007 and is currently second in the standings behind Brad Keselowski. Like Edwards, he's also a full-time Sprint Cup Series driver.
