Once again, Carl Edwards has no interest in returning to NASCAR.

The 38-year-old shocked the motorsports community last January when he announced his retirement without any prior warning. The former Roush Fenway and Joe Gibbs Racing ace came agonizingly short of winning Cup Series championships in 2011 and 2016 but decided to spend more time with his family after his most recent defeat.

Many in the sport believe Edwards will return, but he has continually told reporters that he is content with life after NASCAR. He repeated the sentiment over the weekend when he was inducted into the Ozarks Area Racers Hall of Fame.

"That was a pretty crazy pace there for about 15 years," he told the Springfield News Leader in Missouri. "I'm an all-or-nothing person, sometimes to my detriment. It's taken me about a year to actually wind down. I'm just now becoming the friend and the person I should be to a lot of people that I basically didn't spend a lot of time with for a long time. It's an amazing opportunity and I've really been enjoying it."

Edwards has teased making a start back on local dirt tracks or in Red Bull Global RallyCross.
