Edwards Gets 3 Race Probation For Atlanta Incident

Does anyone find it funny Carl Edwards only gets probation for 3 races.... Yet Robby's incident at Montreal was far less dramatic and dangerous and he gets suspended for a race?? I don't get it... I would think Edwards wouldn't mind the suspension because AFLAC pays when you're out of work.

NASCAR is starting to feel like our government. Only cares about the big businesses and could care less about the little guy.

With the 'Have at it Boys....', I would like to see NASCAR change the COT rules to allow bladed spinners like in Death Race 2000 so the drivers can cut each others tires from a safe distance. It would give new meaning to aero loose :>)

On second thought, maybe this is NASCAR's new way to raise the number of viewers and fill the stands by bringing back 'Circus Maximus'.

man, after RG crapped out in the first few minutes, I shouldn't have stopped the TiVO. Damn.
I hate Carl Edwards and I hate his mom hahahah. They both give off a weird Oedipus complex vibe if you ask me.

That would open a huge pandoras box of nonsense for all racing. It would be really, really b.ad

and unless Keslowski is looking for a new profession, that would be a bad career move.

"Just heard the news," came a tweet from Robby Gordon, who has felt the heavier side of NASCAR justice. "I wonder what would have happened to me in that situation. Hmmm, someone playing favorites?"

Kasey Kahne supported NASCAR's position. "Doesn't sound like favorites to me," he wrote in response to Gordon's tweet. "Airborne is the biggest and only issue. I like Helton's call."

Maybe Robby should take out Kasey for the BS voting last year or was it the year before at the All Star Race.
Suck it, Kasey!!!!!!

After an incident like this,maybe NASCAR should have given Edwards a drug test?

I like the idea of having a boxing ring in the Nascar hauler to settle things.....if you punt someone on the track, you will be putting on the gloves in the hauler.....some drivers might be a little more timid in their actions!! The 12 and 99 would be a first round knock-out!!! Have at it boys!!
