What a joke....

So Edwards gets into an accident all of his own doing (moving down into Keselowski earlier in the day and having to go to the garage for over 150 laps from the resultant contact). Being a Roush driver with an ego the size of Mount Rushmore, he decides that his personal "code"* means he should go ahead and wreck Keselowski. In doing so (and you can see his hands on the wheel in the replay as he turns into Brad's car) he ends up flipping Keselowski in the sort of accident that used to see spectators and drivers getting badly hurt.

He should have been parked for at least one race, probably more. I can sort of see why NASCAR are more concerned about the flip itself than the maneuver that led to it (not good to see it at all, especially not good on a 1.5 mile track), but still - it was reckless, it was brainless, and it shouldn't happen. NASCAR is a contact sport, but there are lines you shouldn't cross. Carl "Braindead Moron" Edwards crossed that line. And hey, when NASCAR decides to put restrictor plates on the cars for 1.5 mile tracks, you can thank Edwards. 'cause it'll be this incident that gets cited as the reason.

Stupid ****.

Later Sunday evening, in an entry on his Facebook page, Edwards said "his code" dictated that he take action immediately.

I 100% agree with you.

They are bring out some form of wing to stop the car going airborne this year I belive.
 
I'm no fan of Kesolowski but I hope he does Edwards at Bristol. Edwards should have settled any argument in the garage afterwards but he is not obviously man enough.
