Question: What do you think about carl edwards flipping the 12 car?

(Posted by: Roushfan5 on 2010-03-07 19:36:06)

I think that Carl was in the wrong, but NASCAR shouldn't fine or suspend him- they where the ones that wanted to allow the racers to race, if they want to change that policy then Carl Edwards needs to be the last one to get away with it. Though NASCAR will be keeping a close eye on him regardless of what happens. 150K? Are you kidding. Much worse then this has happened in NASCAR, and the last incident that Carl got involved in was at Bristol back in 2008. Besides if NASCAR is smart they will let Carl race at Bristol to help ratings Oh, and the first incident was not on Carl. The thing that annoys me is that if Carl had spun the 12 through the infield grass (like he intended too) then would anyone really care? I think not. Bard is an ass and I think that Carl was in his rights to make contact? Besides dose it really matter WHEN Carl did it. Lets say he waited two weeks from now at Bristol where he was on the last lap I ask you. Now of course people are going to have biased viewpoints. I was for the susption of Kyle Busch when he hit Carl at the end of the 2008 August Bristol race. Mostly because I dislike Kyle.

Funny how hypocrisy works. KB and Jr racing at Richmond, they get into each other and everyone is crying for Jr to get revenge and throw KB into the wall (which never happens, but lets face it, everyone would have cheered and hollered had it happened). Fast Forward to last year Kesolowski puts Edwards into the wall destroying his car in a spectacular crash. Carl gets revenge this year and everyone's screaming "OMGWTF suspend him! ".

I think if he would have flipped Kyle Busch they would have sent him to victory lane!

Nascar never said anything about trying to hurt people,the only thing they need to change is to leave 99 on the sidelines for awhile.

If they want to be consistent, a one race penalty is called for. He shouldn't be allowed to race in Bristol just as Robby Gordon wasn't after the Busch race in Montreal back in 2007. Just as Ted Musgrave wasn't after the Truck race in Milwaukee, and just as Kevin Harvick wasn't after an incident in the truck series back at the start of the last decade.

There is a difference between hard racing and stupid racing. He was 100+ laps down and intentionally took out a top 5 car. And the 1st wreck was his fault too. That's why its a big deal. Remember when Ricky Craven and Kurt Busch banged their way across the line years ago? That was good hard racing, both were ok with it, NASCAR loved it, and the fans loved it. Its obvious which one was which. NASCAR should slap him with the typical $150k, 150 point penalty and since its not his 1st time doing this type of thing add on a 1 race suspension for the entire team. I know its not their fault but Jack Roush will make sure it doesn't happen again when his team isn't running the next race.

Yea it was bad that he flipped Brad and I think it was very dangerous and a stupid move on Carl Edwards' part but Brad wrecked Carl at Dega last year and it was a lot worse than today and Brad didn't get any punishments!! NASCAR also wanted racin to be more excitin so I don't think he should get much of a penalty!! I am sure that he is goin to get some kinda penalty cause he ain't Dale Jr.!!

So, Kevin Harvick wrecks a truck in 02 (I think). He is then called to the office, drives his truck to meet with NASCAR and is then suspended for a RACE in the NASCAR division. Edwards is 100+ laps down, purposely wrecks Keselowski who is on the lead lap going over 100 mph. Not only does he wreck BK he flips the car. That could have shredded the fence injuring fans. Then when NASCAR tells Edwards to park, Edwards decides to go down pit road the wrong way to meet with NASCAR. What if cars had been coming down pit road? So, Edwards is driving in a SPRINT NASCAR division race shows his butt, letting NASCAR they can kiss his butt, yet he should not be suspended for the next race. This will tell NASCAR fans if NASCAR has pebbles or rocks. To me driving aggressively is the basic bump and run, NOT the bump and wreck 100+ laps down.

I think that it was outrageous what Carl Edwards did. I like Carl but he was totally wrong to do what he did today. He SHOULD get at least a 1 race suspension, a big fine, and made to publicly apologize to Brad Keslowski. I disagree with you that he shouldn't receive a fine or a suspension. If intentionally wrecking another driver who is running in the top 5, and you yourself are over 100 laps down, and the wreck was as bad as Keslowski's was (flipping over - what if he went up into the grandstands?) then nothing will ever get a fine or suspension. Shame on you Carl.

Suspend him. Completely unacceptable.

Carl Edwards was in the wrong. Period! He is over 100 laps down and spins out a car that is going for a top 5 finish! For those that think it was retaliation for what happened in the beginning of the race look at the tape again Keselowski was already on the yellow line in turn one when Edwards crowded him and eventually wrecked himself. What was Keselowski suppose to do go down to the apron to stay away from Edwards??? And then for Carl to see the replay and still think that Brad hit him is just closed minded and DW and Larry Mac going along with it saying "yeah Brad hit Carl ". Give Me a Break! And for those that say "It's retaliation for Talladega last year " you are wrong also. At Talladega they had the out of bounds rule! Brad was not going to have happen to him what happened to Regan Smith the year before (the rightful winner of that race). Plus it was coming down for a win, this incident happened with laps still to run. Carl Edwards was wrong and I think he should get a penalty and a hefty points hit.

I think it was fair, this was just a very weird outcome, if edwards had spun him out and keselowski spun into the grass, or the wall, it wouldn't have been that big of a deal, but since he got air bourne its like a huge deal. so it could have gone both ways, i think if nascar does anything, they should just fine him, nothing more

Keselowski should pay for his Nascar crimes...

WTH "big Fella " nascar has said the drivers can race and pretty much do what ever they needed to do. But your commit is so ridiculous about wrecking and hurting each other. What are they suppose to do write each other mean notes? I bet Carl was only trying to spin out the 12 car he had no idea that it would take off and fly. I remember Denny Hamlin say that someone would cash in their chips on Brad at the end of last season. He said that he hoped to be the first at the pay window. It looks like Carl beat him on cashing in.

Thank you Carl! Brad needed it! funny how when Brad wrecks someone it is always an accident... even when it is clearly not! NASCAR should have done something sooner! Then the drivers wouldn't have to!

What happened to ANYTHING GOES. Oh the Chevy teams were all on that band wagon back in Daytona, Mrs. Jeff Gordon knocking the 9 into the bleachers... Oh now when a little "BUMPING AND GRINDING takes place all cry FOUL FOUL FOUL. No one was crying foul when Dale Sr. was doing it in the 80's and 90's either, but you let someone in a FORD step up and take things into their hands, OH HOW IT SUCKS... By the way HAPPY DEATH Sr., almost forgot about ya... Anyways, ANYTHING GOES IN 2010, oh wait, figured it wouldn't last long...

I think what Keselowski got was long overdue.

Carl Edwards Did That To The Driver That Rick Hendrick Should Have Hired To Drive The 88 AMP Chevrolet Instead Of Dale Earnhardt Jr.
