He was not a brilliant talent, but to slam a driver who quits after a multiple year career.. there are tons of drivers who achieved less than he did. He quits at 28. There are drivers who keep on racing till they are in their 60's/70's.

Boy that is insensitive and out of line.
How can you denigrate him if you don't know who he is or anything about him or his situation?

I second that!

A lot of these drivers run 36 races a season. That is including the qualifications, free practices, the travelling all across the US. Then some run allstar races, shoot outs, dash for cash or what ever... This puts a hard toll on your "normal" family life.

Then it is pretty understandable when you not reaching the goals, dreams you target as a racing driver, that you choose for your family life.

Phoenix International Raceway has submitted major renovation plans to NASCAR; most significant of these include moving the start/finish line towards the exit of what is currently Turn 2. Pending approval, the project should be completed by the 2018 season.

Full story and blueprint plans

Well that was a very Carl Edwards way to end Carl Edwards title challenge. At least he apologized to his team and Logano for that mess.

Dito but its not over yet, and Joey wasn't 100% innocent, he could have lifted.

It takes 2 to tango but Joey was 100% innocent because you can hear him lift in the onboard.

I hate that you're making me defend Logano.

I hate that your defending him too, so call it quits lol, he could have lifted earlier, but if I'd been in his position, I'd have done the same.
