Looks Like Daniel Suarez just got a opening to move up to Cup racing...
That is interesting timing. Gibbs just let Erik Jones go to Furniture Row. Bet they would have appreciated hearing this a little sooner. I'm very curious to hear the reasoning for this decision.
Says he retired immediately. Not quit.
On Jayski also.
Life's short, he wants to live!
Maybe I spend too much time on facebook, but what's the real story? Guess we'll have to wait 'till tomorrow....
There's a big difference between retirement and quitting...
Carl is smarter than most...
Take the 💰 and enjoy...
Thank you Carl for your professionalism and great attitude...
Daniel Suarez Will replace him to be anc. wed Gibb racing
Was probably forced out so nascar can diversify
Carls contract was up at the end of 2017, so is Matts, Joe Gibbs already said Eric Jones would race for him in 2018, and most likely Daniel would be ready for cup too... With only one seat open at Furniture Row, that leaves one guy looking for a job..... Most in house contracts are close to being done for 2018 by now if they are going to happen .... My guess is Carl was the odd man out, he told them to get started now, and that is why he cannot race in 2017..... Or he was offered a TV deal that he could not refuse..... Heard rumors he is not happy with the new cup sponsor choice, but cant see that as a reason.....
I guess he got as bored with nascar as the fans have.
He is married to a doctor I believe. He is an enlightened cat, smart guy. Wish him the best and hope his reasons aren't due to some type of health or family problems. He is probably just tired of being teammates with Kyle Busch.
Truly one of the good guys. I would have liked to see him win a championship or two, though!
Gonna miss those backflips!
Hmm. Some far out stuff on here. I think I will wait to hear from Carl. I just hope it isn't health related. Can we all agree on that????
actually it was not dega. It was a couple times he paid him back, but at other tracks. Actually though, it was Carl's own fault what happen to him at dega, same as it was at homestead. Not taking sides, just pointing out what happens when you try to block a driver at crunch time.
I'd like to say it was at Gateway (ironically) where Edwards and Kesolowski got into it hardcore once.
Carl flipped BK at Atlanta.
It was Atlanta and it toned Brad down quite a bit at the time.
About 2-3 weeks ago, Carl told the Coach he was done. He has accomplished what he set out to and he is done with the NASCAR grind and wants to experience other aspects of life right now.
One of my favorite Carl moments... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4CBm_VugNYk
Nascar is a dead sport ,it started when they shut down lots of the old historic track's and moving races to the west and up north ( thinking more money) Lucas oil series and world of outlaws are following the same path
Could it be that nascar screwed him with that bogus yellow flag with a few laps to go ?... and the car that caused it was off the track...... that cost him the Championship... !.. and the Win !!.. so, you see who won that champoinship.... the "48" suckie !!!... I hope nascar goes " belly up " !!!
I hate the cookie tracks... Look like a D and all the same ...Plus Pocono that ant even a track they get 2 races wile some good tracks get 1..
Plus
40 cars and you would not know who makes them if it did not say chevy or ford or jap on the nose....
I believe the Sonoma race this past year tells the tale. Denny Hamlin clearly moved over so that Tony Stewart could win and make the chase. I watched the race live with my pops and when Denny went into turn 11 a groove and a half off the tires, it was pretty obvious that NASCAR was as fake as WWE Wrestling. It has gotten so muddy and political, it is hard to know what is real and what isn't. Long time Nascar fan, went to many races, and will never go to another one. Carl is one of us, hoping he gets back into dirt racing!
A LATE RACE BOGUS CAUTION FLAG???? Bite thou tongue!!!!!!
Sure that he's pretty well fixed financially so maybe he's going back to his earlier profession...substitute teaching.
so what does mean have you seen drone racing on tv 6 racers world's greatest lmao and absolutely no crowd NASCAR is going down that path
