#nascar rules on Carl Edwards...
By Rp3 on Mar 9, 2010 | In MotorSports (Nascar, F1, Bikes..)
I was waiting to post until Nascar released their decision on Carl Edwards. Well a couple hours ago they did and I have to admit I think they missed the mark. Carl should have been suspended for at least one race, hell he purposely wrecked Brad and admitted as much. He is on probation for 3 races, this is a slap on the wrist to the new BAD BOY of Nascar! It doesn't affect him at all.
Of course I can understand, with the amount of money sponsors pour into this sport I would bet that they had a say in this as well. Can you imagine his car parked in two weeks at Bristol? What would "The Duck" say about that. Nascar was and is in a tough spot, they told everyone that they could police themselves. Then this happened, but on the same token I bet they have had move viewers due to this new policy. A car going on it's roof and smacking the safer barrier is not what they envisioned of course, but ratings will be up. All the sports shows have there new clip to promote, etc..
So what is next? What will BK say about all of this, he was and is in the middle of this as he was kind of pushing his way to the front over the last year. In the big cars and nationwide, and got a lot of guys upset at him. It will be interesting to see what happens in Bristol in a couple weeks.
One side note, people have said BK deserved this due to what he did to Carl at Talladega last year, as far as I am concerned BK didn't cause that wreck. Carl came down on BK 'expecting' him to move over or go below the yellow line, which of course he didn't. I applaud him for that, and it turns out he won the race. More power to him. This year is definitely starting out interesting for sure..
Keep your eyes peeled, as I am sure there will be TONS of fire works at Bristol...
Until next time...

4th of July, Daytona Style...

Well it's my favorite holiday of the year, yes the 4th of July. The day we celebrate our independence from Great Britain. I just hope next year we still have a country left after what the anointed ONE is doing to our country. Spend money on this, spend money on that, print money here, print money there. Hey lets bail out GM, oh sorry America they still have to declare bankruptcy, but no fear we (the GOV) will take them over and fix it. Uh sure, I have a lot of confidence there, the only company in the world that can loose money every year for years and still grow, etc.. I know if my company were to loose money, I would be looking for yob. Yes...Indeed..
Ok on to the racing, since that is what this post is really about. Tonights race will be epic I am sure, but I want to comment on last nights race by a few guys.
Dale Jr - Sorry man, wrong place wrong time, see what happens when you make mistakes on pit road. It did look like he had a fast Fastenal Chevy though. Maybe tonight is his night?
Kyle Busch - Sorry man, another Second for you, how do you take it, can you sleep at night? At least we didn't have to listen to the same old shit that pours out of his mouth when he comes in second. And he admitted his car wasn't the fastest? Someone must have slipped something into his drink..
Cousin Carl - Do00d, you had tires, you have time, and then the caution came out. Oh well, but I have to admit he is a great interview after the race very upbeat, and funny. Not like the above mentioned Idiot. If I had a company I would want someone like him driving for me. Why would you pay MILLIONS for someone like KB? Yes he wins, but he's an ass!
Jason Leffler - Dam, I thought you were going to get your 12th top ten in a row, bummer for you man. I guess not having 3rd gear was worse than you and the tv thought. Young zippy didn't look happy on the box.
Clint Boyer - Dam fine way to get your name on the car for the rest of the year. Funny competition at RCR for who would have their name above the door on the Holiday Inn car. So who ever has the best avg finish for their first 4 races (I thinks) that person would get thier name above the door. It was between Clint, Jeff Burton and Stephen Lieght. Well Clint won that little competition easily with a win at Daytona, and nice win for RCR they needed this.
TV - ho hum, not really sure if I liked it or not. I do like Dale Jarret in the booth, but sometimes it's too repetitive, they keep saying the same thing over and over. Hell I am not sure who i would be happy with to be honest. Just glad we don't have to listed to the DW - KB love fest anymore. So for that reason I give them a "A".
The race in general was fun to watch, seeing how it was the last one for those cars at Daytona. Next year they will be in the COT for nationwide on this track. Should be interesting. Of course KB did have a funny statement after the race, he said something to the affect that "hell I could have piled it up and wrecked trying to win, since this car wont' be raced any more, too bad I didn't think of that in the race." Hmmm yea if wrecking to wreck is what this guy does, again makes my point above...Just don't him. Yes he is a great racer, but personally nope...
