(AP) -- Backstreet Boys singer Nick Carter seeks his team's second win of the year at the American Power Boat Association's Offshore Grand Prix in the Florida Keys on Sunday. Carter, a Keys resident who arrived Thursday following a two-week solo recording session in London, is eager to see whether his 43-foot Super Vee-class boat can duplicate its victory at the April 28 season opener in Daytona Beach. "I didn't expect to win, because it was the first time I ever did it," Carter said. A back ailment has kept Carter's father, Bob, from driving the boat. Lee Murray and Steve Oropeza of Key West are to handle piloting duties. About 75 boats have entered the first offshore powerboat competition in Marathon in nine years. Comment on this item.
