2016 NASCAR Driver Spotlight Preview: Carl Edwards

Carl Edwards 2016 Preview


By Richard Tix



After Matt Kenseth got to JGR a few years ago and dominated and Kevin Harvick did the same at SHR, it felt like Carl Edwards might do the same getting new life with a new team. However, that was not the case when he first stepped into the JGR #19 in 2015.

In fact, he had a very slow start until all of JGR started to take off when Kyle Busch came back from injury. Carl took that momentum and finished the season with 13 top 10's in his last 18 races including a win and all of them being top 15's. 

With his first season at JGR under his belt Carl will look to take that second half momentum and roll it into a more well rounded 2016 season.


Bold Predictions/2016 Season Expectations:
  • I really expect Carl to improve upon his 2015 season with JGR and give a better full season performance compared to last year. I think we might see 3 back flips, 8-10 top 5's, and 16-18 top 10's. He should once again easily make the Chase, but might struggle to finish 5th as he did in 2015 because of the nature of the new Chase.
