Stage 2 of the Goodyear 400 has been awesome with green flag racing and Carl Edwards up in the booth on the call. Edwards is back at a NASCAR track for the first time since 2016 and he has been a huge hit with fans hat have missed him these last few years.

Carl Edwards has been doing a lot since his NASCAR retirement. The only thing he hasn’t been doing is racing cars, really. Edwards has been farming, flying, going around the world, and he’s even getting into sailing!

As one of NASCAR’s 75 Greatest Drivers of all time, Edwards was at Darlington for some special honors. However, his work in the booth is fantastic. If he doesn’t get into a car again, he needs to get a broadcast deal. Bring Carl back more, that’s what fans are saying.

Clint Bowyer is having some great chemistry with him, too.

Clint is doing his damndest to try and get Carl to drive a racecar again lol.

Those NASCAR drivers are known for staying steady under pressure. However, Carl Edwards brings that to everything in his life, apparently. The former driver has just been doing a great job in the booth. He knew he would get asked about his early retirement. So he was ready to joke around and move on without missing a beat.

While he won’t be racing any time soon, it is just great to have him around the sport again.
