Should Carl Edwards be Suspended?

GR8 Ideas, I never saw it like that before, do you have more apple techn blogs about this?

I'm reluctant that the Pit bull wants a exclusive type of proprietor...these pet dogs, no matter how 'caring' still have teeth, are nevertheless creatures not having moral ideas and once they DO bite, won't allow go. As in all creatures...some tend to be much more suseptable to instinctual behavior and time and time again, this breed tends to accomplish just that.

Both need to be set down for a race. Carl was over the top but Keslowski is not without fault. If only Edwards is suspended this will happen again with others.

Take a look at this link and see all the wrecks BK has caused. This had to be done because it was getting out of hand. He is one that will kill someone,not Carl.

It seems to me that Nascar is heading for the outhouse anyway.They want to take all the emotion out of the drivers,and have them react like Robots. As far as wrecks, whether they are intentional or not,they do happen on a frequent basis. If you expect to see wrecks,you better find a more civilized sport to watch such as golf or bowling.
I didn't see that Carl hit him that hard. How about all the other guys that got taken out,including Carl himself? I am not trying to justify what he did but,this is a highly physical sport and wrecks are a part of it that many come to see,sorry to say.

Yes, Carl should be suspended. Talladaga 2009 Brad has position, Carl attempts to take it. Brad didn't give it, Carl wrecks. Atlanta 2010, Brad got position, Carl attempts to take it, again Brad didn't give it, Carl wrecks (1st attempt at payback)and takes Logano with him. Carl has all those laps to cool off, and try to make the best of the rest of the race...but NO he has to go and make an effort to wreck Brad. How come he doesn't try to bully the veterans he runs around? Brad in each instance there was contact between he and Carl, Carl was just being a bully. Yesterday his nickname changed to Crybaby Carl. You would think after what Carl has witnessed from the outcome of wrecks from some of the NASCAR's greatest talents,the last thing he would want is to wreck someone.But not Carl, being thankful for having the best job,fame,fortune,etc.is not enough for some people.As far as Brad making people mad, how NASCAR many sanctions has been put on him,ZERO. I like the way every driver thats had something negative to say about Brad,were never rookies, never bumped anyone, and never made a driving mistake.Did there life get put in jeopardy? Was possibly hurting a fan worth Carl's payback.Oh yeah, Montoya you had the best equipment money could buy and still sped down pit road at INDY last year,so what difference does it make what equipment Brad brings to the race track, he didn't wreck you and he has a win on an oval.Brad, asking for forgiveness from and giving thanks to, ain't NASCAR or Crybaby Carl.Your talents a blessing,don't ever forget that.

Im sure it was a miscalculation on Carl's part due to frustration with BK..All in all,carl barely touched his car and it went flying so it doesn't really matter. Im sorry but between Dega last year when Carl got tossed into the fence and two other incidents,this was the last straw. Its funny that it always happens with BK and nobody else.That tells me something right there. Carl may have argued with other drivers,but so did Biffle and Harvick. Thats no biggie.

While I have liked both drivers in the past, And BK may have had it coming from a previous race, He di NOT wreck carl sunday. It is way too dangerous at a fast track like Atlanta to wreck someone like that. I wonder how Carl would have felt if BK had been seriously injured or killed? He probably wouldn't have cared. Anyway, Carl knows NASCAR is not gonna do anything, because he had balls to admit he did it on purpose, he even admitted it to NASCAR in the after race meeting.

Brad has been over the line too many times now. I don't believe Carl intended to even wreck Brad,let alone the rest of the field but,I think he wanted to do enough damage to take his car off the pace and cost him a good finish and to leave Carl alone in the future. I think Carl had accomplished this and also made light of the fact that he wouldn't take it anymore.

Brad is a cry baby,he says Carl could have killed thousands of fans....i dont think so maybe at Taladaga when Carl's car nearly went through the Catch Fence. I dont think Carl should be Suspended, ya what he did was wrong but he didnt mean to send him airborne.Also at Daytona NASCAR came out and said they were gonna let racing be racing again, let the drivers settle things on the track. I also thought this new car and wing was going to help to keep the cars from flipping over. I think Carl diserves a fine of money and points but not a suspension

NO, both of them should be, enough is enough, and what they are doing is not only dangerous to those two, but also to the other innocent drivers.

I agree w/DK! Cuz Carl has caused all three of the incidents w/ Brad(Talladega last year and both crashes in Atlanta). For someone to admit he was in the wrong after watching the replay that took him out of the race at lap 40 to come back and do nothing but try to wreck and hurt, oh yeah "he didn't think the car would go airborne!" needs to be suspended for a minimum of 12 weeks! If playing in the grey areas is 6, trying to kill a driver had better be more!!

Hello you it´s just i so sherish your blog, I wuold enjoy to publish a review on this wordpress site in my stupid Apple iPad Site http://ipadnewssvcip.easyjournal.com/rss/ipadnewss... would you be ok with that? Best wishes, Dorla Seat

carl butthead edwards down over 100 plus laps, crashes driver with under 10 laps 2 go,sends race into green white wreckers, cars over 10 laps down should be parked with 10 2 go, let the car racing 4 win go at it his selfishness crashed more cars ,and gave more points 2 some teams, that didn't earn them, just because of green white wreckers, suspended butthead from all races at bristol, are dodn't allow him at track,nascar told dale earnhart sr that he needed nascar more that nascar needed him

Although I don't think Carl made the "right decision", Keselowski is a newbie and needs to be humbled, he is NO Rowdy Busch who would win or crash. Baby Keselowski needs to realize he's playing in the big league and if you p-off the experienced guys, you won't be hanging around for long. Keselowski should have stayed in the minors longer.

Well cousin Carl you did it now! NASCAR can't stay neutral on this one. NHRA put a wheel and tire in the grandstands at Firebird that killed a fan. I don't see NASCAR just letting this one slide like it was a racing thing. Too much has happened that isn't just racing; we call this head hunting. After the race on a cool down lap or in the pits face to face is one thing but the crowd almost got involved in their little crash. Do it like the old days meet him on some back road and pound his butt, then let him explain a black eye to the press. We need emotion in our sport but don't let it get out of hand.

First, Carl caused both the wreck at the first of the race yesterday, and the wreck in Talladega last year, so Carl had no good reason for what he did.

Second, for the Johnny-come-latelys talking about NASCAR "reverting to the old days" and "letting them race", drivers used to have had an unwritten agreement that payback is reserved for tracks under 1 mile. It’s too easy to kill somebody, like fans and other drivers, that had nothing to do with the original incident. Also, to you dimwits that think these cars only get airborne when they have the wing and not the spoiler attached, if you'd worked in or watched this sport for more than a year or so, you'd realize how wrong that is.

NASCAR has little choice but to take drastic action here. Carl wasn't in a position to win or even have a decent finish. He came back to do what he did. He took several attempts before he succeeded. He did this on the fastest track in NASCAR, and most important, he admitted all of the above. NASCAR has a history of placing entertainment over the integrity of the sport, so they may not suspend him, but I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if they did. Had Brad's action in Talladega last year been an intentional act of revenge, I doubt he'd ever raced in NASCAR again. NASCAR realizes that allowing these monkeys to kill fans through acts of abject stupidity would kill this sport dead.

what if you was carl what would you do. i call it human nature, i would of done the same thing. nascar said go at it boys, maybe a fist fight would of been better. way to go carl. eric from the show me state.

The truth of the deal is that this punk Keselowski is just that. Come on, no longer than he has been around and the "earned" reputation he has already made for himself. Got to be a punk! The real problem are the team/car owners. They need to man up as professionals and get rid of the kid. Unless they are of the same caliber....ya think? It will only get worse.

I don't think it was handled the correct way...HOWEVER, Keselowski has been asking for it. I think something should have been done about HIM before it got to this point. Sometimes, you are pushed to the limit. Carl along with a lot of other drivers have reached that point. Keselowski got what he has been dishing out.

Neither of the accidents would have happened if that silly spoiler was implemented.

Oh I am sorry I think the little wimp Kezalowski or whatever the name drives for one of those prima donna drivers so, yes, that is why we are having his conversation, right NASCAR. So I am guessing the fine and championship points will be hefty because the prima donna is involved and tightening the wrist of NASCAR! Let's face it all things are not equal with NASCAR, only if you are the chosen ones that NASCAR likes which is the prima donna ones.

If this would have been one of the chosen few like Bush, Earnhardt, Stewart or the such this would not even be a discussion. Yes, what Carl did was wrong. But drivers in the past have done much worse and have not even got a slap on the wrist so why go now and start to discipline a driver for this. When NASCAR makes their sanctions even with all the drivers event the PRIMA DONNA drivers who need to be the first at getting the sanctions then start the penalties.

Carl Edwards should have found the little crybaby, Braddie, and beat him into a whimpering symph.

Now that would merit a suspension......albeit a delicious and worthwhile one!

NASCAR can't have things both ways. Racing is not a sport for whimps or reasonable people.

Carl needs to be suspended.

first, i think Carl is a prima donna

he comes off like everyone's buddy, like he is one of the nice guys in the sport

don't buy it, he's had trouble with teammates in the past and a number of on track incidents

as far as this incident

he's over 100 laps down (yes, i realize partly b/c of BK)

and the speeds are around 200MPH

there's a courtesy in NASCAR that lapped cars don't mess with lead lap cars

if payback needed to happen, then he shoulda waited for a time when he was legitimately racing BK for position and even then it should just be highly aggessive racing ... the old ... race someone the way they race you

not this kinda punk stuff, that coulda got BK killed

I like Edwards,but not his actions.NASCAR certainely did not intend this foolish response from Edwards.Punch out Keselowski,but not on the track at 180MPH.We are just lucky that we did not have another fan or a driver getting hurt incident.
Nascar needs to get a handle on this.You would never see one of Hendericks drivers do anything like this.His drivers are a class act.I am not saying put skirts on the drivers but use a lot more discrestion before acting with a loaded gun.Do not suspend them THIS time but have a very serious drivers meeting.

It's one of those things where you just have to think. If he did that in a few weeks in Bristol, then I say no he shouldn't be suspended. However they were going near 200 mph, not to mention as much as I hate that Brad kid, I'm not so sure he did anything wrong this time, he looked like he tried to let off, Carl cut down and he didn't have the lane. I feel Edwards would be more justified in his actions had Brad pulled up and hit him, but Carl came down into where Brad already was.
