Since his abrupt exit from the sport in 2016, many have hoped for Carl Edwards to one day get back behind the wheel of the NASCAR Cup Series car. On Sunday at NashvilleSuperS, he explained why that likely won't be happening:
Despite making his second visit to a NASCAR Cup race in less than two months, Carl Edwards said he doesn’t foresee a return to competition in the future.Edwards’s abrupt decision following the 2016 season to retire from NASCAR competition at age 37 shocked the sport, one in which drivers winning races and contending for championships rarely step aside on their own.
“For me, racing is a risky sport. There’s risk involved and if I’m not committed 100 percent, I just don’t feel it’s the right thing for me to go do for fun. I’ve been paying attention. The hits are hard. They still are. That’s one of the reasons I’m not racing is because I’m aware of that.”“But I tell you what, if does creep in, that’s it’s something we want to go do, I promise you I’ll give it 100 percent,” he said. “I’ll do the best I can. But right now, I’m not planning on anything.
