Dale Earnhardt Jr. welcomes the highly requested Carl Edwards on the show to discuss why he retired after 2016, settling old scores between the two of them, talk about his new job at Prime Sports, and much more. After nine seasons without Carl behind the wheel, he opens up to Dale about the true reasons behind his departure and how he knew in his soul it was his time to leave. Dale learns about Carl’s introduction to motorsports and what advice Carl’s cousin Ken Schrader gave him upon signing his first contract with Roush.
Later, Dale Jr. and Edwards look back at their rocky relationship with each other as drivers, where Edwards reveals a the text message from Dale that pissed him off the most. Carl looks back and reflects on his 2011 Championship run that famously ended in a tie-breaker against Tony Stewart, and the back-and-forth war of words in the media that happened before our very eyes. Carl reflects on his time at Roush Fenway Racing & Joe Gibbs Racing and shares what kind of teammate he really was behind closed doors. Finally, Carl opens up about why he suddenly walked away from the sport following 2016’s Championship race and how he has managed his retirement from the sport. The two also talk about what Carl has been up to these days, which includes stories of reconnected family time to sailing through Europe without a cell phone. One of the most anticipated guests is finally here, and it was well worth the wait.
