From Jayski:
John Wes Townley will not race in 2017. A source says that the 27-year-old Watkinsville, Georgia native has decided to end his racing career and take some college courses. Townley also got engaged to girlfriend Laura Bird in the autumn of 2016 and his settling down includes not competing in NASCAR. Concord, North Carolina-based Athenian Motorsports, owned by Townley's father and Zaxby's co-founder Tony Townley, is also ceasing operations. The team had fielded entries for Townley in the Camping World Truck Series, Xfinity Series, and ARCA Racing Series the past couple of seasons. Several drivers also filled-in for Townley in some respect for the team the past two seasons, due to either scheduling conflicts or injuries. Athenian Motorsports is in the process of selling its inventory.

That dumpster fire career was very entertaining. Sad to see the team disappear.

@TexasRaceLady sorry if another thread of this has already been created...didn't see one and figured it was more note-worthy than it being put in the CWTS 2017 Silly Season thread.
 
Don't you have to have a viable career to retire from it?

It would be like me announcing I'm not running for president in 2020.

Don't you have to have finished high school to take college courses?

Welp, time for a divorce before the wedding even happens!

At least we'll forever have the Spencer Gallagher brawl footage to help us sleep at night.

JWT to WWE.

I remember a major in the National Guard who had 18 years of service. You can retire at 20 years, which makes you eligible for retirement pay at age 59.5. For whatever reason, his new bride didn't like him playing soldier and insisted he get out. 18 years down the crapper; probably lost him about $750 a month or better down the road. I guess we know who wears the fire suit in that family, and JWT's.

Wow that's insane! I can do almost any crappy job for 2 years!
