Nascar – Carl Edwards confirmed at Joe Gibbs for 2015

C’est donc bien la dernière saison que Carl Edwards défend les couleurs de la Roush Fenway Racing au volant de la Ford n°99. Après onze années passées en Sprint Cup au sein de la RFR, le vice-champion 2008 et 2011 rejoindra la Joe Gibbs Racing l’an prochain. La JGR a en effet choisi d’engager une quatrième voiture, la Toyota n°19 sponsorisée sur 17 courses par ARRIS Group en 2015, pour Edwards qui évoluera ainsi aux côtés de Matt Kenseth, Denny Hamlin et Kyle Busch.

Carl Edwards will have the opportunity to conclude his story with Roush Fenway Racing on a good note since he will participate in the Chase thanks to his two victories collected this year in Bristol (Tennessee) and Sonoma (California). The driver of the No. 99 has a total of 23 victories in 360 starts. “ This is one of the greatest days in the history of Joe Gibbs Racing.", comments the boss of the eponymous team. “It’s a real delight to be able to welcome a driver of Carl Edwards’ caliber alongside us in a fourth car. »

Joe Gibbs Racing also announced the arrival of Daniel Suarez for the next Nationwide Series season. “We are also pleased to announce the arrival of our new partner ARRIS who will not only support Carl but also help Mexican and South American pilots develop in Nascar. We are delighted that Daniel Suarez is part of this program and we look forward to following his development”, added Joe Gibbs.
