Is Carl Edwards Truly Gone?

It was only a couple of weeks ago that Carl Edwards shocked the NASCAR world by announcing that he was retiring from NASCAR. Actually, in all fairness, he did not use the r-word during his press conference.

So, now the question has to be asked, will Edwards be back in 2017?

Edwards seems like a guy who knows that he is doing and a guy that does things for a reason. Edwards will not miss NASCAR anymore than whatever he is feeling the week and the day of the Daytona 500. From there life without NASCAR will get easier and easier with each passing weekend.

Edwards didn’t say retire for a reason but unless he announces something in 2017, I don’t foresee him coming back at all. So when it comes to Edwards, it’s 2017 or bust.
