Ravin R10 man Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 Carl Edwards will step down from NASCAR's premier level after 13 years.(Photo: Amber Searls, USA TODAY Sports) Carl Edwards is expected to announce he will step away from NASCAR immediately in a news conference Wednesday at Joe Gibbs Racing, a person with direct knowledge of the situation told USA TODAY Sports on Tuesday. The person was not authorized to speak publicly. The move will undoubtedly stun the racing world, as Edwards has been in the prime of his career and nearly won the championship last season. At 37 and driving for one of the top teams in NASCAR, Edwards figured to have at least five-10 more years in racing, should he wish to continue at NASCAR's highest level.

VermontHunter Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 I wonder what the actual reason is behind this very sudden and unexpected move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUDRUNNER Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 Always a bridesmaid. He was so close to a championship a couple of times. He was never one of my favorite drivers, but a likable guy who you kind of pull for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTF Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 He'd make a great team owner with some younger talent behind the wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allnightlong Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Could be better offer/sponsor? I believe there are some new sponsors that are really investing a lot one of the is moto metal wheels. Or could be as simple as giving way.
