A good man, awesome competitor, a man of his word! He made a decision of family, life and safety over NASCAR, and I respect that! No doubt deserving to be recognized as one of the best!

[@charliewhite3992]

He would be good for the SRX series

[@carcar78]

Kenny, thanks so much for posting this honoring of Carl and it’s gratifying to see him get credit for his years in Busch and NASCAR. I always felt he was the real deal. Would not have had a chance to see this news conference if you hadn’t posted! Thx

[@j.r.chance739]

I applaud Carl for fulfilling his dreams, and Nascar was just one of those. Being able to make one of your dreams come true is awesome! I do miss watching him on the track but, I'm equally happy for him to live life on his terms.

[@johnschilling1759]

He was always a class act and still is.

[@c.johnweir182]

That's pretty awesome that actually hear Carl Edwards talk. It's been a long time since I heard anything from Carl Edwards. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@davidpeters2625]

At this point, I honestly do not blame Carl for not wanting to come back...... he realized that it was time to pass the torch to the younger generation, and I think he has clearly content with his career and seems to be a lot happier now that he's moved on.

[@davids5006]

His feelings got shattered cos caught "cheated" out of the championship

[@tomsadowski8308]

Carl is a great person and I am sure if he would to drive again he would always give 100%

[@heyitsrenee22]

Man I miss him, happy to see him again, I understand him not wanting to come back, truly respect the decision he has made.

[@scubasteve7322]

I feel like he’s still mad about losing that championship because they threw a yellow flag that they shouldn’t of NASCAR took a championship away from this guy. I don’t know what year it was, but he should’ve won that championship and they threw a late caution flag that cost him the championship and they should’ve never done that.

[@jerrychase4177]

Carl can make a guest appearance on NCIS as Palmer's Brother.

[@irvan36mm]

He actually made a cameo in “24” as a Homeland Security agent

[@JSkunk3223]

Please Carl, come back!! Great dude

[@YZXRYDR]

How many here remember Carl's tiny little advertisement in back of the National Speed Sport News publication? That's where I first learned his name.

[@shawnwerner4635]

Love Carl so much one of the nice guys true mid West guys

[@WesleyRobbins-ro2ph]

I wish he would come back he was my favorite driver

[@mitch326m]

I would love to see him in the booth!

[@iragoss7224]

Thank you for this. Good to see and wouldn’t have if not for your channel

[@seen48]

Really miss him and his competitiveness on the track. Super happy they are honouring him at the Nashville Super Speedway.

[@DaveBerry-zh5kr]

My favorite driver. Love to have him back

[@user-wz8ym2xq6z]

You are the man Carl!! None Better

[@radamus210]

Well, it's super cool to hear from him, see him at a track, but although he left a sliver of "Never say never" ` nope, he aint coming back. I was always a fan - tell ya what, if he got done wrong, he let the guy know face to face - also went the other way some times but he was open and said what he meant. We saw him grow a lot in his time racing. Kind of guy that made everything better that he was there. God man, doesn't look like he's aged at all - still ripped ~ The guy always had that discipline.

[@wegottafishdude]

🤘🏻😎🤘🏻 Awesome stuff dude We all hope so NASCAR needs more Carl Edwards

[@jacobpotter1444]

How cool to hear him mention my hometown legend I grew up watching. Danny Crane. Legend.

[@kathywoodin8598]

For as much as we'd love to see Carl come back... I get it 😉👍 well said

[@scottherbert4558]

very articulate well spoken :)

[@tommyyancy3902]

You got me with the title Kenny. I was thinking “What?!? No way!” Turns out, Carl discusses NO possible return. 🙁

[@18180]

He's not coming back NASCAR leave me alone!!!...geezzz

[@buckeyefangirl1976]

This Gordon fan sure has missed Carl♥️😥☹️ It's been great seeing him lately.

[@patricktuggles4815]

Carl is really good also. I remember when Brad Keselowski said he was the best driver in NASCAR. that means a lot considering the rivalry they used to have

[@fa1509]

Get Carl Edwards to speak in your podcast

[@markevans1127]

A good man Carl Edwards thank you Kenny for bringing us this.

[@TracksideViews]

I think every time he shows up at the track he gets a stronger itch to drive something again. He can say what he wants but I believe race car drivers never lose that urge for competition and desire to feel the rush of racing as nothing else could provide the same feeling.

[@Breakthroughmasonry]

Nascar is reason why he's not racing anymore he had many years left

[@ItsMe-uf6or]

Mystery caution, championship go poof.

[@kennethtaylor9629]

Love this video

[@DC322]

Cousin Carl isn't gonna race where the competition is already on their top level and he hadn't driven since 2016. Wise decision and the next gen car is much more different than the previous generation car.

[@bullittboost6046]

I don’t think he is coming back. He has plenty of money and he is enjoying life with his family. He has nothing to prove. To think Carl Edwards can just jump back in and be competitive is foolish. Jimmie Johnson has returned and doesn’t look close to a 7 time champion. It’s tough to step away and comeback at an elite level.

[@Dirtmodmaniac]

My first thought is don’t be a sally but I definitely understand what he’s saying!

[@rnvrnv354]

Awe heck, what about running s modified with Kenny or a late model with Dale? SRX?

[@sametozkan9175]

The last ever Busch Series Champion in 2007

[@mikes1292]

NASCAR needs a whole lot of new drivers

[@earleholt4380]

Ok good...so there's a chance we'll see him again at the lobster crate race! 🎉

[@ralphwatten2426]

There certainly is risk involved in the modern top level of NASCAR. Wrecks are programmed into the mix. Carl looks in the best of condition to do it and may drag some fans back to the highest level of pavement racing in the country but it's going to take major changes in the leadership and the cars to make it viable. He'll also have to drag some money along with him. It's not talent and skill that gets you a ride these days.

[@kellyfaust9401]

Carl would be an awesome commentator, spotter, gas man etc. Respect for not wanting to race.

[@lilolme69]

Even though cousin Carl was a cheapass back in the day, I still liked him. His brother used to race dirt late models at I-80 Speedway and I'll never forget the night Carl was there racing a late model and broke his finger in a wreck coming out of 2 and he was laying on the trailer door saying, "I don't want to tell Jack. Do I have to tell Jack?" 🤣

[@JeffWeselyan]

I don’t mine he doesn’t race just want him come back

[@mikalthies8691]

Leave this man alone. He’s done racing. He’s become a fan. If anything. I think he’d make a great pit reporter or even up in the both. But leave him alone about coming back to race again. Tony’s XRS would be his best option to get back behind the wheel. If he wanted to.

[@frediefarmer]

👍🏽🇺🇸👍🏽

[@alanunseld4942]

yeah i agree with him jimmy johnson has run a few races didnt turn out well🤷🏼‍♂️

[@LilSebastian_]

To be honest, every time Carl Edwards did a backflip after a win I wanted to see him eat it one time. It would have been hilarious.

[@KennyWallace36]

haha. c'mon!

[@LilSebastian_]

@@KennyWallace36 Serious question for you about the local track/dirt guys and their team/crew. Do the guys who work on those cars get paid or do they do because it's something they enjoy doing? I imagine it would be harder to beat a team with an all paid crew vs for fun crew. Is it hard to find guys to stay committed to the team when it's for fun?

[@Turner.1]

He doesn't need those jerkwaters

[@MRosati5000]

Carl don't bother.. Your fan's understand. You have nothing to prove. Show up and comment once in a while.

[@freedom6919741]

He will never be in a race car again. He is content with his life now.

[@davids5006]

I hope he just stays retired and enjoying his family life

[@9race4life9]

Biggest Carl Edwards fan...he had to be biting his tongue about the Chicago street race. That over Road America just makes zero sense!

[@dracer555]

Chicago will be one big cluster f. Hopefully this is the first and last. A couple RC a year is ok. Glen and Sonoma. I like oval racing with oval racing cars. They built the next gen more for rc. More short tracks less RC. And fix Atlanta back the way it was, I could watch Imsa if I liked that. Are they actually going to build the auto club short track. I don’t see why it would’ve took 2 years. The stands are there. And there better be 2 Bristol races on concrete. I’m on a roll this evening. Lol. People will be pissed when there cable is 150$ plus a month then they have to buy peacock in 2025 to watch all the races.

[@dracer555]

Carl got out at the perfect time. Nascar has been down hill since, from lowering HP. All the different packages etc. now a pos car that I don’t see ever being a good as car as the gen 6 when it had 800+ hp.

[@raymond3803]

He tried to kill Brad Keselowski, more than once. I never liked him. Glad he's gone. Never been missed. Edwards was going to get involved (invest) in reopening I-70 Speedway. Backed out like I knew he would. Stewart literally stole the Championship. Won 5 of last 10. With Carl talking smack.

[@greathitnick3034]

He has so much money he is getting paid to do nothing and enjoy life.

[@JJA1987]

Nah he’s Soft

[@Charlesdayis]

The nascars are too junky. They already need a new car 2 years ago.. please get rid of the awful 1 lug nut and make the car safe

[@BigWheelHawaii]

Carl Edwards Was Great, He Was Very Brave, Very Talented, and Humble... Like Bobby Isaac,,, Carl,,, May of Heard Voices... Remember,,, He Just STOPPED,,, No Fan Fair,,, No Last Year Tour,,, Just STOPPED lll Best Part, He Put "Brad Kowa-Bonga Dude" on His Lid,,,, That Was GREAT !!! "Kowa-Bonga Dude" Was and Is,,, A Nasty Work of Art....

[@nicksterl.2133]

Why Did You Have To Capitalise Every Word?

[@geak28]

BS Carl you could get back into a car and win again. Better then any other driver racing now.
