Carl Edwards rejects any chance of making a comeback to Cup racing. The announcement comes after NASCAR recently revealed his inclusion in the Hall of Fame as part of the class of 2025. Edwards’ retirement in 2016, following a devastating loss in the championship, shocked racing fans. Despite speculations about a possible return, Edwards made it clear that he will not be returning to the Cup series as a driver. He acknowledges the challenges of the sport and believes he would not be able to perform at the required level in the current era.
While some fans may still hold out hope to see Edwards back on the track, whether in NASCAR or in other racing series like old models or dirt races, he has a large following and could attract a sizable audience. It remains to be seen if he will return to competition. Additionally, Edwards expressed his enjoyment in being involved in the sport as a commentator for Fox Sports. He had a lot of fun calling races and is now more open than ever to pursue a career as a commentator.
If Edwards does not return to NASCAR as a driver, fans would be thrilled to see him take on the role of commentator, providing his unique perspectives and insights on the sport. He could be a fantastic addition to NBC, filling the void left by a recent departure and bringing a fresh perspective to the coverage.
