Ahright, this here is the stake Cousin Carl made, he took his fender and runned into the 1/4 panel of another car! If Carl was in a real racecar there would be no fender!
The real mistake was there are 2 short tracks in a row coming up where Carl could have "sent the message" with less risk involved! |

NASCAR is hurting big time in attendance and TV ratings.
Quote from Jeff Gordon in Saturday AP sports article: "NASCAR needs some rivalries to stir it up. I am sure that Carl got a thorough reaming in the NASCAR trailer. The incident generated much needed publicity. Heck it has sprint car boards discussing it and they hate NASCAR. :2: I suspect that the feud will increase ticket sales and TV ratings. What I don't know is NASCAR management's true feelings on this new "rivalry". |

After watching the video on yahoo, I think Nascar has a problem that needs to be looked at. They showed video of the crash yesterday and of Edwards' crash last year. In both cases the "roof flaps" opened which should have settled the car back down when the car was going backwards. Instead, both cars continued to lift. Edwards' car got some help, but it was rising as it was hit by the other car. I'm wondering if the lift generated by the rear wing going backwards completely counteracted the roof flaps disrupting air flow to keep the car from flying. The cars both seemed to react like they did before the roof flaps were developed.

That was the most I'd watched of a NASCAR race in a while. Guess I wanted to see if Kahne could pull of another win at Atlanta or if Montoya could make a charge and win, but wanted to see one of them win over Busch.
I can unserstand Carl being upset and he showed good composure in his interview with Bergeren. I'm sure he didn't mean to flip him. Maybe he should have just waited for Bristol in two weeks. And yes ditch the white gloves if your going to do that stuff. Many say NASCAR died when Dale died. Maybe so but they started going down hill when they decided to get rid or cut races from their good old tracks. Darlington needs a second race again and Rockingham hosted prolly the best races of the year before they dumped it. all these cookie cutter tracks they race at now! |

Seeing Scott Speed retaliate on Ricky Stenhouse in the corner on a short track in the final race of the season while they started the race running 1st and 2nd in points made sense to me. Seeing Edwards take out Keselowski on the front stretch of a speedway the 4th race in out of 36 in the season is just a little too much. He's a little to wholesome for me. Seems to be a hot head and loses it every couple of months over something. |

Has anyone noticed that Edwards seems to have a bit of a problem with anger management? I can think of instances with Earnhardt Jr., Harvick, and even his own teammate Kenseth. That sunny, folksy exterior seems to have a flip side. Retaliation on a short track like Martinsville is one thing, but at 180 mph it's quite another.

Nobody mentioned an actual yellow to bunch them back up for a green white checker....instead of the DEBRIS YELLOW. They know we are on to their fake racing, so Edwards got chose to be the heel this week. WWE?

Getting even should not be done on the track. At 190 0r 150 you got to remember that there 41 other guys trying to win and to get even during the race can take out more then the two trying to get even. And on a short track such as Bristol or Martinville can take out half of the field. Get even in the garage after the race.
