You heard it here first: Carl Edwards will not win the inaugural Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series championship.

In the forthcoming Jan. 23 issue of Autoweek magazine, we predict that Edwards -- you know, the same guy who is reported to suddenly be retiring -- will win the 2017 championship in NASCAR's top series.

Oops!

SPOILER: This is what you'll find inside the Jan. 23 issue of Autoweek magazine.

Sadly, we shipped this section of the magazine to our printer on Jan. 9 -- a day prior to word that Edwards, 37, would be announcing his early retirement.

Unlike with the interwebs, there isn’t some magical way for us to go back and fix our prediction in the magazine. Guess we shouldn’t have fired Nostradamus, eh?
