Carl Edwards: 10 Defining Moments In His NASCAR Career

Going to JGR

Carl Edwards remained competitive into the early 2010’s, even nabbing two wins a season in his final three years with Roush Fenway Racing, but the writing was still on the way that Edwards would need to pursue other avenues if he wanted a chance at a championship before he retired. Edwards got that chance in 2015, when he signed a multiyear deal with JGR to drive #19 Toyota.

The move paved huge dividends for Edwards, who won two races in his first season with Toyota and also qualified for the new format of The Chase. While Edwards had many accomplishments to hang his hat on after his first season at JGR, an ill-timed rain delay at Phoenix International Raceway cost him a spot in the final four and ruined his chances of captured a championship in his first season at JGR.
