Carl Edwards

Carl Edwards earns my respect mostly for how he left. The Columbia, Missouri native, a University of Missouri graduate famous for his celebratory backflips, raced hard for Roush Fenway and Joe Gibbs Racing before walking away while still competitive, which takes more nerve than most drivers can muster. Now an analyst for NASCAR on Prime Video, he's proof that knowing when to stop can be its own kind of victory. A genuinely classy second act.
