NASCAR will use this to get a little spike in viewers. It was the main pic on their site minutes after it happened. It's gonna make punishment pretty tough because they need to keep Carl available to take advantage of the PR bonanza. :soapbox: At least we don't need to hear about JJ or Danica for awhile. :23: |
Re: NASCAR thread
Maybe they will screw Edwards out of a Championship
like they did to Mark Martin in 90 or 91. Good to see Petty's teams do well. They have not been up front for years. |
Re: NASCAR thread
Let me ask everyone this; if this had been Jimmy Johnson, Jeff Gordon, or Kyle Busch pulling this low crap that Carl Edwards did, how many of you would be screaming to ban them? Sorry, because Edwards is in a Ford and appeases to many of the Roush fans here it is acceptable; it was a pathetic move.
I lost all respect for Carl Edwards when he pulled the low life crap with his teammate Matt Kenseth a couple of years ago After that incident, I no longer was a fan of Edwards. I don't think he is worthy to drive a car for Jack Roush. For the record, I can't stand Keselowski. But at 190 miles an hour I wonder how Edwards would have felt if Keselowski or worse yet, a fan left Atlanta in a body bag. Bottom line, STUPID :crazy: |

Re: NASCAR thread
I think Carl atleast should have to pay for the car he destroyed. There is no excuse for what he did. If you have a problem with someone, you deal with it that race.

He pulled all kinds of stunts. He passed below the yellow line at Daytona and almost wrecked Ricky Rudd and Rusty. THAT is why the yellow line rule was implemented in the first place. Edwards has ballls, and Keselowski got what he deserved. |

I agree, Keselowski deserves to be taken out of races. Keselowski is a punk who's even worse than Kyle Bush with taking out drivers, but not at a track running 190mph. The only balls Edwards has are the ones between his ears he calls brains. |
Re: NASCAR thread
After seeing a replay of what happened at 'Dega and haveing seen the incident early in the Atlanta race, I'd say Carl shouldn't have been put in that position by NASCAR, Brad should have been called down. Carl got back at him, it's done, and both shold have gotten the probation.
:borg: |
Re: NASCAR thread
Carl did right thing because what Brad did to Carl last year at 3 races they race at, last year.

Re: NASCAR thread
If a NASCAR official or randomly selected fan had to ride in EACH car what do you think the rule would be. Payback don't sound so good if you have to ride with Edwards, Bush, Brad, or Denny. I think we are already hearing talk from the drivers about avoiding payback on BIG tracks.
Reference Carl and balls; if balls alone were enough many more could race Cup. It takes brains and I think he has those too; he just uses them less than he should. It must not take balls ................... Danica seems to be doing fine. If the media is any judge. :confused: |
Re: NASCAR thread
All I can say is that the Lawers are loving this. The first person to get hurt or killed Nascar will be out of busness.
|
Re: NASCAR thread
I too think Carl should have used a lot better judgment in what he did. At those speeds, anything can happen.

Re: NASCAR thread
Wow. That was a pretty wild finish after Hamlin made what I thought was an insane pit stop with 8 laps or so left. I thought Gordon might have had a lock up win, but he got shoved out of the way. :23:
|
Re: NASCAR thread
So is Gordon gonna get put on probation too after his post race comment....when he said "I made sure he didn't win the race" referring to Kenseth...how is that any different than Carl booting BK so he didn't win? I don't get Nascar anymore...if certain people they like do certain things it's never a problem...This sport has gone to crap!

Edwards was 153 laps down when he intentionally took out a driver on a 1.5 mile track with speeds approaching 200mph. This move put BK's life at risk, other drivers lives at risk, and spectator lives at risk. Kenseth and Gordon(notice both) were bumping and rubbing on a .5 mile track (also the shortest track in Nascar) and fighting for position and trying for a win at around 100mph. It was not a 1.5 mile track with speeds over 200mph (there it is Big Ron), no drivers lives were at risk and no spectators lives were at stake. Both Kenseth and Gordon were fighting for position. A quote from Days of Thunder: Cole Trickle: Yeah, well this son of a bi*** just slammed into me. Harry Hogge: No, no, he didn't slam you, he didn't bump you, he didn't nudge you... he *rubbed* you. And rubbin, son, is racin'. Sorry, big difference in Martinsville between Gordon/Kenseth than what happened a few weeks ago in Atlanta. I'm not saying it's right, but that is how it's always been at these .5 mile tracks. |
Re: NASCAR thread
Looks like we (Ford) will be losing Kasey Kahne (again) to Hendricks after this season. He'll probably drive Stewart/Haas next year and then go to the main team, replacing Mark in the #5 car.

Re: NASCAR thread
With the crap he pulled before with Ford, I say good riddance.
|
Re: NASCAR thread
His history wiht Ford is certaily tainted, and I'm wondering if that had anythign to do with him jumping ship. I'm only hoping that the bandwagon he's jumping on starts to fall apart at the seams. The Hendricks juggernaut is definitly a bad thing for the overall enjoyment of the 'sport'.

Re: NASCAR thread
They're calling for rain here this weekend...I'm not going to be a happy camper if they post pone til monday because I won't be able to go if they do:eyes:

Re: NASCAR thread
What are the TV ratings like nowadays?
Bet they suck. And when is the FR9 engine going to be used by all Ford teams? |
Re: NASCAR thread
The FR9 had been pulled for the last few races. Don't know what's up, but wiht the lackluster performance of all of the Ford teams of late, it obviously needs some work.
:borg: |
Re: NASCAR thread
I wonder if Al would do some..........................

Re: NASCAR thread
