#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...
