NASCAR 2010 - Let the Racin Begin

m4a1mustang · 03-07-2010, 04:55 PM

WOW. As much as I hate Brad Kesolowski, Edwards should be benched for a race or two for that move. If he didn't hit on an angle he'd be dead.

MC · 03-08-2010, 03:58 PM

yeah that was a pretty harsh move by him yesterday edwards admitted it too

m4a1mustang · 03-08-2010, 04:21 PM

Maybe it will make Brad think twice before he goes and wrecks people, though. He's such a punk.

m4a1mustang · 03-08-2010, 04:24 PM

Here's the vid

What ticked me off the most is Montoya was most likely going to catch and possibly pass Kurt as there were still 3 to go and Montoya had a much better car on longer runs.

Sscottfitz · 03-08-2010, 05:37 PM

Come on it was just one of those racin deals.....

I think Carl was sending a message, but probably should of done a better job of hiding the fact that it probably was intentional.

I DO think BK is going to have to adjust his mindset racing with the big boys - some of the crap he's pulled in the Nationwide series ain't gonna fly in the Cup series.

Will be interesting to see what NASCAR does to Carl -- I don't think they'll bench him, although he does drive for Jack and NASCAR doesn't mind hitting Jack where it hurts...

m4a1mustang · 03-08-2010, 05:58 PM

My guess is he'll get a points fine and be placed on probation at minimum. Possibly he could be suspended for Bristol...

m4a1mustang · 03-09-2010, 12:26 PM

Press Conference @ 12:30 today to announce Edwards' penalty (if any). Rumors are he will not be suspended.

Josh@STILLEN · 03-09-2010, 01:32 PM

Probation only.. didn't park him.. no fine.. no points..

Shockingly light punishment..

m4a1mustang · 03-09-2010, 01:35 PM

Twitter reactions:

@KevinHarvick: i'm thinkging about asking for a refund for all of my penalties!!!!

@ScottSpeed: Yo go #nascar!!! 3 race probation for Edwards! Awsome I love it!!! I bet Keslowski is scared now

@RobbyGordon: Just heard the news. I wonder what would of happened to me in that situation? Hmmm someone playing favorites?

Sscottfitz · 03-09-2010, 07:07 PM

Sooooo, I guess there IS some value added in taking off your sunglasses when you speak on camera....

I will say this, the "relatively" light punishment is consistent with NASCAR's previously announced intent to place a great deal of policing back in the hands of the drivers.

Got a feeling it might not be over given BK's history in the Nationwide series -- I'm sure ALL EYES will be on the #99 & #12 at Bristol in a couple of weeks.

Well there is a long line of guys waiting for their payback. Now that they know they will only get a 3 race "probation" they are probably really excited to get at him.

Scott Speed's tweet really summed it up best.

Speed is a character.

Sscottfitz · 03-10-2010, 04:36 PM

Actually, it's almost as if NASCAR sent a message, but it might not of been to Carl.......

m4a1mustang · 03-10-2010, 05:39 PM

Yeah, they pretty much told the rest of the garage, "get him."

MC · 03-13-2010, 02:25 PM
