After today's race, I really don't like Mr.Carl. IMO it was just a cheap shot...I think I'll watch hockey next Sunday...

I guess you don't follow NASCAR very often?
What Edwards did to Keselowski today is nothing compared what Keselowski has been doing to him (and other drivers) in both Sprint and Nationwide series for the past 2-3 years. |

Exactly, Edwards has been getting slammed and bashed on the track but oh wait now that he pays back a driver its a bug deal, the Hippocrates are over whelming. That bump he gave him was nothing and the result is huge huge flaw in the design of that Car of Now where thats why they are ditching the rear wing.. Kesolowski said he "Lifted" to let Carl go by..BullS__T! he never lifted and drove right into the back of him..

I never said it wasnt on purpose anyone can clearly see that. Little Flaw? Right, completely taking the roof flap safety away from the cars when they are turned around.

Carl was more than 100 laps down. He has no business taking out a car that is in the top 5. I love Carl, but that was W-R-O-N-G. I my opinion, He needs to be suspended. I hate to say it, but wathcing 5 races from home would teach him a valuble lesson.
What upset me even more was that he wasnt even remorseful...had he appologsed, and said that it was a stupid stunt, and he never should have done that, I think he could have saved himself. But nope.... he was arrogant and said somethig to the tune of "that should end it"...like he got that last word.... A**hole. Sorry Carl, I love you..... but dude.... you were a Douche. |

I guess everyone is forgetting how Brad took Carl out at Talladega last year ...
And what he did to him in many Nationwide races ... I wish Denny Hamlin has balls to take Keselowski out like that, because spinning him and Keselowski continuing to race does not justify what Keselowski has been doing to everyone else. He's the dirtiest driver in NASCAR, he's worst that Montoya and Steve Wallace put together. At least Montoya calmed down and Wallace does not hit people on purpose, he does it because he doesn't have any talent and drives a NASCAR only because his daddy owns a team. |

I agree with ya guys, it was stupid and dangerous for him to retaliate like this but it sure seems like people jump all over Carl....

Keselowski is saying that Edwards should be suspended for at least one race.
I don't remember him being suspended for all crashed he caused ... |

I used to try to give Carl the benefit of the doubt. But the guy ****ed up today. You don't do that at 190mph. I think he should sit out a race. :bad:
And I am no Keslowski (sp?) fan and certainly not a Dodge fan by any means. For some reason it always seems to be everyone elses fault but Carl's with alot of people. Today clinched it for me. I don't wish him harm at all, but he needs to take a look at things and see why he's involved with these things far more than anyone else. I watched it live. It was blatant and on purpose. No denying it. I watched the interview afterward because I wanted to see what he'd say. He didnt' deny it. He just said he didn't mean to flip the guy. So I can infer that he did mean to wreck him. Lucky he didn't seriously hurt or kill somebody. |
Am I, and Dave, the only people who saw Talladega's race last year?

Carl just needs to take up dempolition derby or something. Besides as a racer he's been sucking pretty hard of late. Maybe when he can't win he'd rather wreck people. Sonuds like a personailty problem to me. For Carl. Not you of course. :nice: |

They blamed him last year for Talladega's wreck and they blame him for todays wreck. He did cause todays wreck, but he didn't do anything that Keselowski didn't do to him in the past. And Keselowski does not have any friends on the track simply because he wrecks everyone. I watched all Nationwide races last year and whenever there was a crash - chances were high that Keselowski (and Steve Wallace) were involved. If anything, I'm sure Denny Hamlin took Carl out and bought him a drink after todays race. :grin: |

Today I was pulling for 9 and 17. But mostly 9. |
I'm Edwards fan (he's my second favorite driver, behind Kenseth) and the accident today was his fault, no doubt about that, but I think Keselowski got what he deserved.

Carl was definitely giving him the business, but no worse than goes on all the time in NASCAR. Without the wing on the COT Brad spins, probably bounces off the wall, and NASCAR odoes the secret happy dance as people tune in to watch these two go round and round the rest of the year. With the wing he does a flip and it's the end of the world. NASCAR can't actively promote full-contact racing and then be surprised when this happens.
Carl should take whatever punishment he gets with minimum comment, be the classier guy, and move on. If Brad comes back at him later, that's the time to worry about him. I just wish someone had the nuts to do that to Johnson. P.S. On the 100+ laps down thing: This is something that DW has mentioned offhand at times: letting guys that far down come out and run around is inherently dangerous. First, their cars obviously aren't up to snuff or they wouldn't be in that situation. Second, you've got a guy in that car who was hoping to make a bid for the win just sitting there and stewing while a race happens without him. And all this so he can bump up a couple spots in the final order. NASCAR should have a cutoff of X number of laps down (double digits) after which a car is automatically retired from scoring and barred from returning to the track. |
The fact is there is a huge flaw in these cars and NASCAR is just hoping and praying that they get the thing off the back of the car before someone else goes flying...The big wing renders the roof flaps inept at high speeds..
|
They're working on a spoiler which will replace the wing.
Testing should start later this month and they should start using it before the Chase. |

Agreed. I know they have a minimum speed threshold, but there also needs to be a limit on laps down. I know why they do it. Because some other guy might wreck with 100 to go and you can still pass him in the standings if he never goes back on the track, but something still needs to be done.
They need to hurry up before one of these cars goes into the fence and parts go into the grandstands. |
This is what they wanted. NASCAR may feign outrage over what happened yesterday, but I can guarantee they are high fiving behind closed doors. NASCAR is on a downward spiral, just look at the huge number of empty seats in the stands at races that were sold out a couple of years ago. Stuff like this draws free media publicity, and creates a rivalry that people will tune in to see what happens next (much like pro wrestling). It had become an orchestrated soap opera.
Heck, they admitted it, and even encouraged it last month.. Jan 2010, NASCAR is relaxing some of its rules this season, and encouraging drivers to show more aggression and emotion, in large part to answer a growing fan sentiment that the series had gone stale. "There's an age old saying in NASCAR that 'If you ain't rubbing, you ain't racing,' " NASCAR president Mike Helton said on Thursday. "I think that's what the NASCAR fan, the NASCAR stakeholders all bought into, and all expect." "We will put it back in the hands of drivers, and we will say 'Boys, have at it and have a good time,' " vice president of competition Robin Pemberton said on Thursday. Fans were incensed that the rough and tumble series they once loved had been molded into boring, follow-the-leader racing, and their favorite drivers had become too vanilla. It wasn't until last autumn -- when Hamlin waged a monthslong feud with up-and-comer Brad Keselowski, and Tony Stewart and Juan Pablo Montoya intentionally wrecked each other in the season finale -- that NASCAR finally saw the lift the emotions and personalities can deliver to the series. http://adlog.com.com/adlog/i/r=16802...n/dotclear.gif |
I agree with that also! I am waiting to see the NASCAR (Hipocrits) Officials and see how they handle this one.
|
BK was just asking for it. But an old school fist fight would have been better:grin:
I defend Carl Edwards :nice: And yes those wings have got to go |
So if Edwards robs a bank and shoots the teller, he's still all good, huh?
Teller had it coming. That's Carls money. He deserves it. |

In last years Talladega's race where was BK going to go? Beneth the yellow line? C'mon...."Carl tried to force him below the line but he couldn't go because that would cost him his position. He did not turn up into him." Anyway I didn't think this post would turn out like this...Anyone for a beer and a 'dog? |

Yeah. They still got to put the stickers on them so you can tell who's who. |

It happens". Yet when somebody does that to him - that driver should be suspended for attempted murder. Carl did it on purpose, he didn't deny it and nobody thinks that it was accidental. All I'm saying it - What goes around, comes around. Carl didn't wreck Burton or Kenseth or another clean driver. He wrecked Keselowski who's currently the dirtiest driver in NASCAR. |
he didn't do anything that hasn't been done a 1000 times. The result was just a little different than normal :)
|
See y'all want to bring up when they got together back in the spring race at Taladega well here is an exerpt from NASCAR.com about that lil episode............
The two drivers have a muddled past, with Keselowski having turned Edwards and sent his car airborne and into the catchfence at Talladega Superspeedway last spring as they both raced for a win. Edwards said after that incident that it was at least partially his fault for coming down on Keselowski, and that Keselowski merely did what he had to do to win the race. Edwards seemed to blame the horrific wreck, which caused some injuries to fans in the stands, more on restrictor-plate racing than the driving of Keselowski. Pemberton indicated that Edwards more or less admitted in the post-race meeting with NASCAR officials that he intended to wreck Keselowski, but that he did not mean to send him airborne. Keselowski's car ended up landing upside down, nearly crushing in the driver's side of the roof, and was completely destroyed in the aftermath. Earlier, Edwards spoke briefly with the media and attempted to explain his thinking. "Brad knows the deal between him and I," Edwards said. "The scary part was his car went airborne, which was not at all what I expected. At the end of the day, we're out here to race and people have to have respect for one another and I have a lot of respect for people's safety. "I wish it wouldn't have gone like it did, but I'm glad he's OK and we'll just go on and race some more and maybe him and I won't get in any more incidents together. That would be the best thing." So from what I read Edwards really cant get "revenge" for that episode. |

No one can explain rationally why they are a fan of a person or a team or on the other hand why they are not a fan. It just is. I'm certainly not criticizing you for being a fan of his or anyone for that matter. It's a race. So in that regard its just a game. Entertainment. Like football or maybe even wrestling to some degree. I was just expressing a view same as you but I'd never mean anything personal by it. And I'm pretty sure you know that after the years we've both been here. :cheers: |
|
seems rational:nice:
|
I'd never make it in nascar. Anybody 'rubs' me and bends my car - much less puts me into a wall - and I'm pulling a gun on the sob!
|
Something tells me this ain't over.
Especially since Carl can't do anything in the next 3 races. Although I don't think they would ever suspend him. He's too big of a star. |
Well when it happens again, and it will they will be forced to give out the same punishment.
Looks like they are getting what they wanted. Now will people come out and sit in the seats? |
As long as they give a Sprint Cup race to Milwaukee, I'll be in the seat closest to the track.
But I'll be cheering for #17. |
fighting on/off the track will never be as good as daytona in the early 80's when donny allison and yarborough got into it on the backstretch... "he went to hitting his nose with my fist" hahahaha
|
It was actually a 1979 Daytona 500.
First NASCAR race that was live on TV from beginning until the end. And actually it was Bobby Allison, not Donny. Cale wrecked Donny, Bobby stopped to offer a ride to Donny and then started fighting with Cale. |
