2016 Ford 400 - Edwards HUGE Restart Wreck

Carl Edwards gets turned defending his position on a restart with 11 to go going for the championship at the Homestead finale, causing a multi-car wreck.

[@blendezfamily8727]

Carl Edwards 2:29: "That's it; I'm retiring after this mess."

[@laytonsri150]

Good move by Carl going to the 22 pit & saying it was all his fault, you won't get many drivers doing that.

[@marcisawesome0469]

funbus all drivers should do that if that happens Sportsmanship

[@jacksonrailroad]

if that was joey logono he would have punched him in the face

[@tomdalfonzo9959]

Matt Kenseth, Denny Hamlin, and Kyle Busch certainly wouldn't.

[@D4nkfury]

Class act by Carl afterwards, going to the 22 pit and wishing them luck. He was the only driver of the 4 that I don't hate in some way, but really cool of him to do this

And in my heart I feel this has a HUGE baring on his decision not to race 2017.. JMO... This is 2nd time he has lost so close, and come home without even a cigar. Poor Carl, heart is with him. Hope seriously nothing is wrong health wise as for his decision not to race.

[@ClaireBear8686]

I think the crash scared him, not that there is any shame in that at all. He looked pretty frightened in the in-car camera at the end.

[@pidgeot1893]

Yodog678 Gaming I think he already made his decision. Remember, his wife is a physician for long term severe brain trauma. they probably had a number of conversations about it since he started having kids, and the ever-growing studies of concussions, combined with Jr's situation, they likely made the final decision.

The first NASCAR race I ever attended, I was 6 years old, and everyone was freaking out after the wreck. I am now 12 years old turning 13 this year, and still remember it like it was yesterday.

[@Cheatz321]

Does anyone think maybe Carl got a concussion in this wreck? He saw what happened to Jr and didn't want to risk his health. Maybe that's why he took this year off! Maybe part of it he's not happy with the way JGR is going and wants to sit out this year and come back with a new team or form a new team.

[@AEMoreira81]

Now might also be the time to note that Carl Edwards' wife, Katherine (who, like Carl Edwards, is from Columbia, MO, and the same age), is a physician at the University of Missouri Hospital who specializes in rehabilitation with brain injuries. She may well have given Carl qualified medical advice on this issue and that is why this ended up being his last race. They already have 2 children (with a third on the way).

[@Johnsor21]

Cheatz321 that could very well be. Also, he's had two really tough ways to lose the championship. 1st time was a tie in points with Tony Stewart only to lose it based on Tony having more wins. Then his. I bet these are hard to recover from.

[@karnubawax]

Or maybe he was just sick of NASCAR's bullshit.

[@ethanweeter2732]

He probably got a mild concussion and that was a massive crash. Combine the two, plus what happened to Jr, not surprising he retired. Add in the phantom debris yellow flag.

[@ginger6960]

Imagine if this wreck never happened

[@SN-nh6pq]

Lesseeeeee… Carl has a massive lead, championship totally secured & here comes the biggest BULLSHIT CAUTION FLAG by Nascar. What was the caution for??? 🤔. Carl wrecks on restart & he knew right then & there I’m done!!!! LITERALLY-- DONE!!!!

Edwards was a class act, and this was the race where he learned that there is no room in NASCAR for a class act.

"Joey's very good on restarts, he did everything right." Wow, so wrecking Carl Edwards was right. Wow.

[@adamspark9259]

He didn't wreck him. He had a run and he took it. The wreck was the result of the 19 turning left and not letting Joey take the spot without a fight. You see drivers make a pass doing what Joey did here all the time, especially on restarts. Only difference here was there was 10 laps to go for a championship so there was no give from either driver, so they collided. Thats hard racing done right by both men. Carl wrecked himself trying to stop a pass.

Best guy in NASCAR history to never win a title. He technically tied with Stewart the one year, based on total points. The bad news is he finished Second that night. This night he had the best car and if not for that move, probably went on to win one. He easily could've had two titles.

I am pretty sure Mark Martin deserves the role of best nascar driver to not win a title?

[@jamiethornton6101]

@@watermel0noj242 Why do you think Mark Martin with 41 wins in more starts deserves it over Denny Hamlin with 46 wins and less starts? I'm curious to hear the logic behind that reasoning. Not to mention Denny's three Daytona 500 wins. Carl Edwards would've had two titles under the old points system. Martin had NO titles under the old points system. So there are two guys right there that are clearly better.

[@watermel0noj242]

@@jamiethornton6101 Don't know where Denny Hamlin came from because according to you Edwards was the best to never win a title. Also I am not sure if you know this, but winning the 500 doesn't make you "better" than people who won other races. As well of the fact that Mark Martin maybe has more starts because he had a long career and is now retired? Again, mark finished 2nd for the championship 5 years and, ironically, most of these WERE in the old style of points! Not to mention his 61 2nd place finishes compared to his 41 wins. Just because denny or carl won more doesn't mean they were better. Mark was very unlucky in his career and finished 2nd way too often, I don't know if you knew any of this information before you tried to make a silly argument, but now you do.

[@jamiethornton6101]

@@watermel0noj242 He came from you throwing Mark Martin out there as the best driver not to win a title. Mark Martin isn't even top three. Junior Johnson won 50 races and Denny Hamlin is still racing and won 46. Carl Edwards didn't race anywhere near the length of time as any of those guys and would've won two titles under the same system that Mark Martin raced his entire career under.
