Edwards Weighed his Options Before Wrecking Keselowski

AUTHOR: | IN: NASCAR | COMMENTS: 8 Comments |

Carl Edwards didn’t just wreck Brad Keselowski on a whim. He weighed his options first.

This is what Edwards had to say on his Facebook page following the race:

“My options: Considering that Brad wrecks me with no regard for anyone’s safety or hard work, should I: A-Keep letting him wreck me? B-Confront him after the race? C-Wait til Bristol and collect other cars? or D-Take care of it now? I want to be clear that I was surprised at his flight and very relieved when he walked away. Every person has to decide what code they want to live by and hopefully this explains mine.”

When he puts it that way, it seems as though Edwards has a point. He couldn’t just let Keselowski keep pushing him around. Obviously, confronting Keselowski after the race hasn’t done any good in the past. And he didn’t want to get other cars caught up in his mess. That left one very messy, yet hopefully effective option.

It’s good to know Edwards didn’t want to see Keselowski get hurt. And it’s nice to hear Edwards’ point of view on the matter. I still say what he did was wrong, but it appears he didn’t have any other options.

Hopefully NASCAR will see this and decide that no further measures need to be taken. Let the racers race!

Awesome. just awesome...i haven't any word to appreciate this post.....Really i am impressed from this post....the person who create this post he is a great human..thanks for shared this with us.i found this informative and interesting blog

to bad carl didnt have a daddy in the picture while growing up

I believe Brad pushed one person, one time to many.
We all knew it was coming! If not Carl, from someone
else. He might want to be grateful it was only Carl.
We watch the races every week, and everytime I see Brad act so arrogant,and so cocky, I say "one of these days he's going to get what he's got coming, he's going to mess with someone he doesn't expect
to come back at him, and then he's going to try to
act all sweet and innocent and say Carl could hurt
someone. What did they do to him last year? What do
they do to him, when week after week I sit there and
say Brad's getting ready to take out the person he's
getting ready to take out? Now, I'm a woman 70 year
old woman sitting in my livingroom telling people before it happends,(it never fails to happend)
and then I say "I told you to watch him". He reminds
me of someone else that use to race, but that guy
knew how to do it without it being so obvious. If I was him I'd watch my back, because there maybe a few
more out there that have had enough, but we will let this cool down first. Carl's a good guy, and a nice
man, he might get a hold of the wrong one the next
time, and me, I'll be sitting there in my livingroom
or daughter's house cheering them on. They show all
this new stuff that they say can be done, and now they are backing down, and wanting to penalize Carl.
Nascar is loseing fans, and complaining about not making money, if they'd keep their word and let them
race like they use to more people would get involved.
If it keeps on like it is and they have different
rules all the time I know 2 people that won't be watching or going to races. We have SIRIUS RADIO and we
listen to it everytime we get in our truck, it's paid
up for life, but we'll be turning the channel if things keep going like they are. Carl wasn't our
favorite driver, but we'll sure be in his corner now!

Edwards is an idiot & always has been an idiot. Yes, NASCAR will suspend him because they must protect their own interests. If they don't suspend & this happens again & people in the stands are injured there is not an insurance company in the world that has enougn coverage to save them.

Brad has been pushing around a lot of drivers, inclouding Cousin Carl, since he came on the scene in NASCAR. Carl seams to be the only driver to maybe teach him a lesson, as it seams as though trying to talk to him does appsolutly no good. As for Brad flipping over, I think it was a lot of NASCAR's fault for putting an airplane wing on the back of a racecar.

Well,considering that Brad K,wrecked Carl on numerous occasions,I have to go with Carl on this one.Keslowski would keep doing this if Carl didn't stand up and say,ENOUGH!! Yes,it was a dangerous calculation,but hope it pays off.

Edwards has no class. I remember a few years back Tony Stewart nicknamed him Eddie Haskel (of leave it to beaver fame)for his on and off track antics. Over the years Edwards has wrecked; Dale Jr. ( at Atlanta and cost Junior his title), Tony Stewart, Matt Kenseth and others with total disregard for their health or welfare. He is an idiot and should be punished with points loss of at least 150, a $100,000 fine paid by the driver probation for two years and finally a day in court for vehicular assult.

No he does not have a point. Carl came down on Brad and he didn't have enough time to slow up. This whole option BS is just BS... and Carl knows it.

"Considering that Brad wrecks me with no regard for anyone’s safety or hard work"

So in return, you lost your regard of other's safety and their hard work and sent him flying. You are an ass.
