A Tearful Goodbye - NASCAR Reactions To Edwards "Stepping Away"

THE ANNOUNCEMENT

THE REACTION:

No matter where you were when you heard the big news today, you had to stop and think - Carl Edwards is retiring? 

Well, not retiring persay, just not stepping into a firesuit in 2017. Not competing in NASCAR this year. Not reporting to work at Joe Gibbs Racing. No more backflips when he wins a race. 

I think I'm gonna miss that the most. The uncertainty of whether or not he will or wont stick the landing.
