STATEMENT FROM TMS PRESIDENT GOSSAGE ON BREAKING NEWS OF NASCAR STAR EDWARDS NOT COMPETING IN 2017
FORT WORTH, Texas (January 10, 2017) - The
following is a statement from Texas Motor Speedway President Eddie
Gossage on today's report from FOXSports.com that Monster Energy NASCAR
Cup Series star Carl Edwards is leaving Joe Gibbs Racing to pursue other
interests outside of driving and will not compete in 2017.
"This
is comparable to Barry Sanders retirement back in 1999, shocking and
with loads of ability and time left in a very successful career.
Everyone rightfully expected Carl to win both races and championships. I
talked to Carl about a month ago and he didn't give any indication that
he was considering this. It is a shock that just doesn't seem real."
