NASCAR 2020
I wouldn't have predicted it but can't say I'm surprised to hear that Jimmie Johnson, seven-time NASCAR champion, to retire after 2020 season

It's about time. He's kinda lost it. I always thought Karl Edwards did the right thing and went out on top.

Just heard on the radio. Unless it was not in his control, I say it's a mistake. I would not have given up that easy.

Re: NASCAR 2020
In my opinion, Carl went out because of medical reasons. He didn't want one. He was always a health nut and his wife is in the medical field. I believe they had a lot of conversations on the subject and he decided to draw the line. I believe a lot of drivers gave it some thought after all the concussions that Jr had. But Carl acted upon it.cooperhawk wrote: ↑Wed Nov 20, 2019 4:53 pmI always thought Karl Edwards did the right thing and went out on top.

Re: NASCAR 2020
You may be correct, but Karl had made a lot of money already and I think did the smart thing.

Re: NASCAR 2020
interesting .... I hadn't heard that theory .... I suspect that the 2020 season will be like the last one for Jr and Jeff .... tributes will be paid at most if not all tracksCowboy Gun Fan wrote: ↑Thu Nov 21, 2019 9:26 amIn my opinion, Carl went out because of medical reasons.

Re: NASCAR 2020
it looks like Kurt Bush has found a home for at least a couple more years .... Ganassi gave him good equipment and he ran really strong in several races

Re: NASCAR 2020
CONCORD, N.C. — Jimmie Johnson’s impending retirement from full-time NASCAR competition has already kicked off next year’s silly season with one big, tipping domino. The seven-time champion’s decision to step away creates one of the highest-profile vacancies in the garage with Hendrick Motorsports’ No. 48 Chevrolet for 2021.

Re: NASCAR 2020
Cole Pearn stepping down as Martin Truex Jr. crew chief .... it will be interesting to see how it impacts the team's success

Re: NASCAR 2020
Pearn and Truex were a good match.
I did not know that he was a Canadian, which seems to be the main reason for leaving, after switching owner locations.
Did not know he was a Liberal either, lol.
