Stop crying, and just face it. Carl is better driver than Brad. Brad tried to spin Carl out because he took the lead, but Carl recovered, When Carl was going to take the lead again, Brad tried to block. but Carl drove around him and won the race. Brad is a dirty driver. If Carl spun out would everyone be crying. Everyone hates a winner. KEEP ON RACING HARD, CARL!!!

What penalty did Carl receive by being parked? He was already as far back as he could go. No penalty. Now Mr Jones decided to stop at a bar after work to have a few drinks to unwind. He doesn’t realize that he is setting in motion the events a few hours later. In the meantime, Mr Smith and his family are coming home from vacation. They are glad to be almost home. They stop for dinner, and go on their way. Mr Jones has finished his few (6) drinks and is feeling no pain. Unfortunately the Smith car and Jones car meet at a red light which Mr Jones runs. The two cars wreck violently killing Mr Smith and his family. Mr Jones survives. What should his penalty be? He didn’t intend to kill four pelple, but he DID. He set this event into action when he drank too much to drive safely. Carl on the other hand with premeditation stalked Brad waiting for the chance to wreck him. He couldn’t know how big the wreck would be but he WRECKED him nevertheless. He had hours to get over his rage…to calm down…but he was simply out of control. We don’t need malicious drivers in Nascar. There is too much at stake. If Carl can’t control his anger, he must be taught to. This is not his first ac

I am all for a little bit of rough racing but even I was angry when I saw Carl do what he did to Brad. But at the same time I know that most of you can agree with me that Brad is also a very crappy driver with no regard or remorse for others. In the beginning of the race he cut off Edwards - yes he cut him off, look at the tape - and he refused to accept responsibility for what he did. Not to mention he has no respect from the other drivers because of his driving style. I believe that Edwards should be fined for what he did and also take anger management but that should be it. He almost killed brad. But also Brad should be completely removed from NASCAR. He has almost killed so many people and he doesnt care. Brad started this fight and it looks like Carl Finished it. I hope NASCAR fines edwards fairly but also takes a very good and hard look at punishing Brad for all that he has done to give this great sport a bad name.

As soon as it was reported that Nascar was encouraging--yes, encouraging--violent retaliation by drivers, both on the track and in the garage area, even a novice could see where the whole ill-advised and sordid affair was heading. It was a desperate attempt by Nascar to regain a half of a point of its lost TV ratings share of previous years. It was bad advice then, and it's bad advice now. Last week, Brute O Smith, of Charlotte Motor Speedway says he'd love to see Jimmy Johnson "slap somebody" to really get fans interested in racing. What kind of ignorant statement is that from someone of ol Brute's stature. I think he should be slapped for taking the low road. As for Nascar and Edwards, well, Mike Helton said drivers should take the gloves off and get rough and tough, and now they are. Nascar created this situation, so now they should shut up and stop trying to cover their tracks on the issue. As per Johnson ever slapping somebody, I don't think he wants to embarass his sponors or himself, so I hope no one ever gets slapped, except Brute O. Smith for putting ticket sales ahead of the integrity of the sport.

Given what Nascar put out earlier this season with regards to allowing the drivers to regulate themselves, they are in a poor position to issue penalties with immediate effect. They can't justly punish someone on the spot and clarify their policy after the fact. As such, they should tell Edwards that if he gets black flagged for aggresive driving again this season he'll lose 100 points and cash. Anything else is punishing Edwards for doing what Nascar encouraged and for the sport fielding a car that comes off the ground.

Suspend him for 2 races, probation for the remainder of the year, attend anger management classes and fine him the replacement cost of the car he wrecked intentionally. A $50,000 fine is chump change for a jerk like Carl. Putting him out of a race car for 2 weeks will hurt his ego..also drug test him every week for the rest of the season. His behavior sounds like roid rage or unmedicated severe bipolar. Either way, he is dangerous and needs to be reined it before he cripples or kills another driver.

Below is a comment I posted in another article before I got to this one:

"One thing is for sure - when those guys race, there is going to be contact and tempers are going to flare. People are going to want revenge. It seems to me that every case should be taken own its own merits and dealt with accordingly. The seriousness of the action considered. As Dustin said, there would have been no life threatening result on a short track but, hey, you cannot do that sort of thing at 190 mph without a real risk to life.
An example should be made of Edwards. Sitting out one race is not enough. Two races and a 1,000,000 dollar fine might be appropriate. A slap on the wrist is not going to change anything. Hamlin should get a retroactive penalty! He lacks good sense."

Also, why not use flaps, like roof flaps, for the top surface of that dangerous rear wing? Such that when in forward motion, it would be held down but, when in reverse motion, it would deploy up and have no air resistance. Well, it will soon be gone anyway.

I agree with Dustin, take points away and fine Carl. 150 points is about equal to one race, so the result is the same as sitting out one race. Of course, NASCAR could sit Carl out one race and only take a minimal in points and acheive the same result.

Brad may have had it coming, but not for the incident in yesterday's race. The whole situation reminds me of Ricky Rudd and Jeff Gordon, in Jeff's first year in Cup. Jeff hit Ricky several times, trying to get by. Jeff finally got past, and then Ricky ran into the back of Jeff's car, causing him to spin. Ricky got a $10,000 fine, but Jeff got taught a good lesson - respect for the other drivers. Rumor has it that the other Cup drivers chipped in on the fine:-)

Carl also needs to learn how to wreck someone better. For one thing, don't wear white gloves. What he should have done is wiggle the car a little to make it look like he was out of control, then hit Brad. "Sorry man, I couldn't hold it down".

Back to what NASCAR should do. On one hand, they should only look at the contact and give Carl the same penalty they would have if Brad had just spun through the grass. On the other hand, maybe they need to set a

Just one of them racin’ deals.

NASCAR should stay out of it. The two of ‘em can meet behind the motor coaches and settle it between themselves. Keselowski teaching Edwards a lesson.
