I am not a fan of either driver but I guess we could have done something to Carl if Brad was dead of mamed. I don't care who has what coming you don't spin someone at 190mph. But as of today it is war on the speedways. Also Rusty said Brad had it coming well when his hit everything kid gets spun at 190mph lets see what Rusty has to say then. If it is okay now it is okay to spin his kid and it is okay to spin everyone else also. So all you people who are okay with it God forbid the next time someone gets killed and if it is in the stands we can all so goodbye to racing because the goverment will shut it down. The enviormentalists already hate racing. So tighten those belts boys its battle time.Duanenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-60699839914856912262010-03-09T23:51:29.917-05:002010-03-09T23:51:29.917-05:00Anon 10:38PM,

Why did all 3 in the booth sorta act like (for at least a number of minutes) that they didn't hear him say that?<br /><br />And also, as to the condition of the car. Why didn't somebody (specifically Larry Mac) say something along the lines of... 'Wow, that drivers compartment/roof is deformed more than I've ever seen on a COT crash' ...wasn't that what most close observers were thinking right away?<br /><br />Are these broadcasters so darn afraid of putting NASCAR in an uncomfortable position that they will virtually be in denial when things like this happen?

That said, the media circus during an off-week is going to be fun to watch.<br /><br />NASCAR may not have penalized Edwards, but I have to believe his real penalties are still coming. All the drivers who have been mentioned as having had previous run-ins with Carl must be drooling. We're headed to Bristol and Martinsville - two of the best tracks on the circuit for the 'incidental payback' - and Edwards is now powerless. To many people, he's become the target - and NASCAR is watching closely. <br /><br />This isn't to say Keselowski didn't have something coming, and I have a feeling BK has gotten the point. But Brad is no longer Carl's problem. Carl needs to worry about Smoke, Harvick, and anyone else who may be holding a grudge. They'll never have a better chance to even their own scores.<br /><br />There are two winners here. NASCAR, for having something juicy to keep the media going through an off week, and Kyle Busch, who (for the moment) is no longer Sprint Cup's bad boy.<br /><br />Word veri = wall im in.Dave in OKCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-67268030817617972462010-03-09T22:56:46.728-05:002010-03-09T22:56:46.728-05:00"Funny - I usually buy off brand fertilizer t..."Funny - I usually buy off brand fertilizer to save some money but yesterday I intentionally purchased Scotts in support of Carl Edwards!"<br /><br />Me too.

Oh well we will go on hopefully this wing comeing off will stop this stuff but I've seen cars w spoilers go over as well. Carl needs to think he almlost took out Dale Jrs arm as it was hanging out and bam edwards rammed him in the driver side in a Nationwide race a while back so its not like this was his first time but hey you cant say one thing and do another (as in let the boys have at it)! Ah well stuff happens, remember in the NBA when the fights took to the stands and people were injured and such oh well stuff spills over sometimes its going to happen, you go to the race you know the risk of sitting close. This is a sport and emotions run wild I couldnt imagine having such a great ride and sitting in the grage that long i bet all the pent up aggression just had to come out, but should of been done in a much safer fashion. just my thoughtsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-59795766812076971802010-03-09T19:20:54.029-05:002010-03-09T19:20:54.029-05:00Fox coverage leaves much to be desired.

That was even at a non-points paying race.<br /><br />Yet Carl Edwards puts Brad's & fans safety at risk and gets away clean just because he didn't intend for the car to get airborne. I'm sure Carl Long didn't intend to cheat or have his engine too big but NASCAR couldn't have cared less.<br /><br />I don't like Brad and no longer have any respect for Carl. He needlessly put peoples safety at risk.

Ask anyone with a background in turf management or development. Was at Bristol last spring with a VaTech turf grad student (working on his phD), who practically went into a fit over the listed ingredients and consumer-expected results printed on Scott's representative goods being displayed at their tent. Never bought Scotts products again, personally.<br /><br />Say one thing, do another. Gee, who does that sound like? Scotts and CE are a perfect match. I will NEVER forget Martinsville and how CE treated Kenseth.<br /><br />I'm with Harvick - they should give him his penalty money back. And Robby Gordon would have been thrown under the bus and tied down as it backed up over him several times.<br /><br />On the plus side, the media was all over this with well-reasoned arguments.
