Re: NASCAR thread
Carl was running a clean race, and the only person who could get under his skin could and did. He got what he deserved when got pushed out of the way. The rest was just icing on the cake...and Brads dad can lick the icing.

Re: NASCAR thread
Some interesting thoughts on Carl Edwards
Even driver Denny Hamlin called the move "dirty" on his Twitter account. "I probably wouldn't have reacted as kindly as Brad did, I probably would have walked down there and punched him in the mouth,'' NASCAR's Sprint Cup Series points leader Kevin Harvick told SPEED TV this week. Harvick is the last driver to actually be suspended (one Cup race in April, 2002) because of bad behavior and his rough driving six years ago pales in comparison to Edwards' recent repertoire. "I just thank God no one has gotten hurt, that's not what NASCAR had in mind,'' Daytona 500 and Indy 500 winning team owner Chip Ganassi said Monday of NASCAR's relaxed policing policy. "My initial response is I'm glad those guys don't drive for me right now or I'd have a lot stronger response. "Someone has to be the referee of this. ... I think each guy should be allowed one move, but I don't think you should be allowed to use a car as a weapon.'' "I've been accused of being a racing purist, but I'd like to see more good driving, driving your car with respect not crash a guy to win,'' Ganassi said.' "The greatest drivers in the sport were always known more for their great driving than for how many guys they took out.'' “I like to race as rough as anybody,” Harvick said, “but there’s still a line when somebody has to rein somebody in and unfortunately, you hope that it doesn’t get to the point where you wind up hurting somebody or you end up killing somebody. Hopefully it doesn’t take that long for NASCAR’s reaction to come, to just get everything under control. “There has to be a boundary drawn at some point before everything gets to that point.” Many of the Cup drivers are ready for NASCAR to end this fight. They don't want to be wrecked in someone else's feud. I personally think Carl is unstable and should be parked for a few races.

Re: NASCAR thread
Carl IS unstable. My gf and I have been saying that for a looooong time now. He's ****ing crazy and he's gonna hurt someone.

There have been others over the years. I hope he changes and all is well again. His habit of turning people is very dangerous. You don't have to do that to race extremely hard. Even at a place as tough to drive as Darlington. See the clip below:

Re: NASCAR thread
Instead of a controversy Carl could have had a great finish. Like any of these:

Re: NASCAR thread
NASCAR has taken a (surpising) hands off attitude about all of this, in not announcing any penalties, probations or anything. There's been a lot of discussion about it, and they probably better off keeping a safe distance until they can come up with a solid explanation as to their policies on 'have at it, boys'. Letting up on the reigns is one thing, letting total chaos rule the day is completely different. One thing that has been mentioned over and over is that Brads dad needs to stay off TV.
Next weekend in Indy should be interesting as both are running the N'Wide and Cup races...to be continued...

Re: NASCAR thread
I'm not a big NASCAR follower or fan anymore, but this rivalry thats brewing has renewed my interest. Granted wrecking people at nearly 200mph isn't a safe move, but it makes for good TV.
Now as I said I don't follow NASCAR closely, but as far as I can tell Edwards is only retaliating, not initiating these events. Edwards wrecked that guy as payback for when Edwards got sent in the air at Talladega if I'm not mistaken, right? And this newest event, Edwards wrecked Brad because he hit Edwards and almost "took the win away"? Do I have this right?

Re: NASCAR thread
An addition to G's post. Brad needs to race more clean and Carl needs to remember races like this and look at the big picture

Re: NASCAR thread
Carl needs to wise up and get over Tally. That was a product of restrictor plate racing and the yellow line rule. What Brad did in turn two was no different than what Dale Sr. Rusty Wallace, and Jeff Gordon have made a living doing the "bump and run". If Cale had done the same to Brad with the same results that just good hard racing. Dumping a car coming to the line is just a low class move.

Re: NASCAR thread
No doubt. They destroyed Bristol. That track sucks now. I know attendance is down, but that track only filled 100,000 of 160,000 seats at the last race. That's unreal.

Re: NASCAR thread
It'll be even more interesting to how bad they screw up Daytona with it's next repaving. So far every track that's gotten a make over has been soundly blasted by fans and drivers alike.
Looks like NASCAR finally found its voice in penalizing Carl 60 points and putting the two of them (no dad?) on probation.

Re: NASCAR thread
He started it, actually he started it when he put Carl into the catch fence at Talladega last year, so he shouldn't walk away without some kind of reprimand.

Next, to get even Carl purposely spins Brad while not racing with him at Atlanta. He was a bazillion laps down and wrecked a car running on the lead lap. He did it in a very dangerous place and was obvious about it. NASCAR failed to issue adequate punishment and now we have the current issue. If he wanted to race against him side-by-side like Kurt and Ricky at Darlington he could have been a hero if he won or looked up to as a clean driver like Burton or Martin. He hooked him on purpose in front of the whole field coming to the checkered flag. Unlike most other drivers who use some restraint he impulsively wrecks a competitor. He is unstable and needs some education. Sadly he's not likely to get it from NASCAR, they love the fact that people are talking about this and will tune in to see the "next time". Just like Cole Trickle in that movie, Carl is having sponsor trouble. Jack would have been better off to keep McMurray and let Carl go. He won't keep him long at his current level of performance.

Re: NASCAR thread
Oh, here's an article on a few of Carl's career "moments'.
The video where Jr wrecks him says a lot. Carl seems to think it's wrong to have someone wreck HIM to win a race????? He pulls a "Daze of Thunder" move that could have ended Jr's career. What an Azzclown. I don't agree with NASCAR pulling points from the team for a "driver" incident. They seem to love screwing Jack over. http://motorsports.fanhouse.com/2010...rds-dark-side/

Re: NASCAR thread
what cracks me up is the fact that earnhardt sr. did the same things for his whole career. but he was a hero and the greatest driver that ever raced nascar. its not that he was so fast or so good as much as the other drivers were scared of him...they knew if he was behind them they would get punted out of the way. now you can call it "rattling a cage" or being a maniac....either way it aint right. but why is it that sr. is a super hero for his dirty racing and edwards is an *******?
and as far as the comment about mcmurray...are you serious? what had mcmurray done for roush prior to his departure???? nothing...edwards and kenseth were running the show for a good while there. i dont blame jack at all for tossing mcmurray and keeping matt and carl. even though both of them are not doing so well this year they are still doing better than mcmurray was doing.

I'm not suggesting Carl can't drive. He is not a good role model at the moment but might be able to get on the right track. His recent behavior is beyond any possible defense and NASCAR seems to agree. I say next time park him.
