Edwards or Keselowski

[CanadianRacingOnline]

OK that isn't cool as Keselowski said. If you want to pay someone back you don't do it at a place where the cars are going at high speeds. If you feel you have to do this do it at a short track where there is always bumping and banging.

I'm not a Edwards fan and never have been, something has always bothered me about him not sure what but never liked him. The Duck is cool though.

I don't think one race is good enough for this maybe 3 races. He comes out and says he meant to but never thought that he would have flipped like he did. Does it matter what he thought would happen. You never know what will happen when a guy is going that fast and you take him out.

The reason I say he should get 3 races he came back to take out Keselowski and he can say what he wants he was not going to pick up many spots by coming back on the track. He came out just for one reason and that is why Nascar should park him for 3 races and also the crew chief should not be allowed at the track for 3 races as he knew why Edwards wanted to go back on the track.

Whatever the case may be, I think it was one badass flip!

That was quite a thump. Keslowski didn't look like he even knew his own name when he climbed out of his car.

I believe Edwards when he said he didn't mean to send Keslowski up into the air like that. I also beleive that if Brad had've gone spinning thru the grass like he was supposed to, the penalty for Edwards might not have been as severe as being parked. In this case, its the end result that mattered, not the offense. (sort of like how high sticking will get you two minutes, unless you make the guy bleed, then its 5. Same offense, different outcome.)

NASCAR made its point. With all the talk about the "new" and more badass NASCAR, where drivers police themselves etc, NASCAR needed to remind the guys that it doesn't mean its a free-for-all either...that s* can get someone killed.

I'd like to think that Edwards was mortified at what ended up happening, and I'm betting he was. He got his wake-up call, and that's good enough for me. If they continue their little war, then we can talk about suspension.

Keslowski and Edwards are a couple of good guys, and I think its over now.

And just BTW, lets all raise a can of Miller Lite to our friend FromTheStands, who likely got rather emotional when the 2 car won.

Cousin Carl is dirty. Period. Didn't really like him before, like him less now. The earlier altercation was his fault too, but he blamed Keselowski for it. Keselowski is a young man going places in this sport, mark my words 

And yes it was a fairly emotional time for us "blue deuce" fans as it has been a long time coming for Penske Racing

that was pathetic....he took a swipe at him the lap before too....

I agree witht he suspension, but would make it 1 race...1 race will make him miss the chase anyways....ruin his season..

I think they should give him a medal.  Brad deserved to be wrecked for attitude towards the other racers and lack of respect for there equipment.  Should the penalty be different from short track to intermediate? What racer hasn't wrecked anyone for pay back?

I agree with Shadow that if he hadn't flipped we would barely be talking about this. Remember Nationwide at Homestead last year? Denny Hamlin turns Keselowski on the frontstretch. Keselowski does a couple 360's and then laughs about it on the radio. If Brad had just spun through the infield, almost nothing would have been done about it. The next three races are at tracks 1 mile or less, wreck the guy then, not at 190 MPH, or hit him on the cool down lap or something. Maybe Carl needs gloves that don't stand out on the steering wheel

Oh, and I can't stand Bulldozer Brad (and I love Cousin Carl!), and I'm glad he (hopefully) got a lesson, just don't think it should have been here.

Carl needs to wear black gloves.

One of the problems with this car is the wing, that is gone in a couple races, and the fact that the car and safety equipment are so good that these guys have no fear of getting injured. Not saying the safety is bad just that there is no fear of dying like back in the day. That kept the payback to the appropriate venues.

Take away his points and money plus a 1 race suspension like the do at every track.

I think these guys should have some fear that these cars can still kill you or others. Once you loose all your fear you do stupid things and that is when things become dangerous.
