Edwards should get more than this

Not enough, and why penalize Brad?

Carl Edwards, driver of the No. 60, has been penalized with the loss of 60 Nationwide Series championship drivers' points, fined $25,000 and placed on NASCAR probation until Dec. 31. Car owner Jack Roush has been penalized with the loss of 60 series championship owners' points.

Brad Keselowski, driver of the No. 22, has been placed on NASCAR probation until Dec. 31.

Interesting - as I said earlier, neither of these drivers is my favorite driver...........but I didn't really see Keselowski do anything in this race that he should be put on probation for.

I can't take this sitting down. To let Duck Boy off so lightly and then to penalize Brad at all is very poor judgment on the part of NASCAR. I have been trying to give NASCAR every benefit of the doubt, even after the debacle caused by Duck Boy at Atlanta in March, but this is utterly and downright stupid. A fine of $25,000.00?????Ask some of the guys who had their cars destroyed by the immature actions of the featherbrain how much it is going to cost to fix their cars. Even further, the sad part is that Duck Boy will always believe he is above reproach, above the rules, and above it all. It would almost be worth filing suit against NASCAR to have them explain why Brad was penalized 60 points. What did he do? What action did he initiate that wasn't the usual "move the car out of the way" like he did Duck Boy coming out of turn 2. I am totally incensed over this inability of NASCAR to find one individual within the entire organization who has enough intelligence and guts to make appropriate and just rulings. Frankly, this angers me!Time for me to hush. I'm about to get out of hand. If I had an AFLAC policy, I would cancel that sucker right now.Tim

Oh no I smell duck soup in the kitchen and Mrs Ann aint a cooking--- Tim ole boy settle down or you just may have a plugwire come off in the middle of showering. That would make you go around sputtering. You know like when the duck cant make contact with people Tim Leeming said:

It is not AFLAC's fault that Edwards is an idiot. maybe AFLAC will cancel their sponsorship, probably should. I wonder how may drivers have AFLAC ?

Brad got probation to prevent retaliation.There are the best, then there is the rest. We saw the rest on Satruday night.

Robbie said:It's NASCAR, that little nothing of a Bizzaro World where nothing is just and makes sense.Well put and a very good comparison. NASCAR is very much like Bizzaro World in many of it's views and actions. I didn't see anything that Brad did that should result in probation, and I can't see how Carl is allowed to race this week. I feel he should sit at home for at least 1 week, possibly 2. This is just another black eye for NASCAR.

It is simply amazing to me how Nascar can make a call and never get it right. Intentional wrecking someone should carry a 2 race suspension PERIOD, no matter who it is. I am sick and tired of the Duck Boy and the thugs at Nascar.

Has anyone ever seen NASCAR make a wrong or bad call...............especially since Sir Brian took the reins?? It's looking like that organization is made up of a bunch of slow learners.....it's been looking like that for awhile now. It ain't what it used to be.

Ok......get mad at me if you want.....but I really don't think neither of them should have gotten fined. I like Carl, but that's not the point. Earlier this year Nascar said "have at it..." so I say, when does "Have at it" go too far? They were just racing. Sure Carl purposely took Brad out....but think of it this way: You're coming off turn 4 for the win and let someone else win? No, I'm gonna fight for it. Second, think back to the 1992 race at Charlotte, Kyle Petty dumped Davey Allison coming to the checkered flag, Nascar didn't penalize him or fine him did they? They were just going for the win like Saturday Night.Alright, I've stirred the pot too much.-Cody

As it is now Saturday and there is another Nationwide race tonight which will be hyped to high Heaven by NASCAR and all possible press, it's time to make my final comment on this post. I appreciate each and everyone of you taking time to post your opinions and I respect each and every one posted. I have the time to post this little note today because I am the ONLY person (besides Robbie Solesbee) with press connections who has NOT requested credentials to tonight's race. Instead, I'm going to the local short track. Local short track rules are usually clear, concise, and enforced. There will be no Duck Boy and his prima dona attitude there tonight. There will be drivers there who put their all into their cars and their racing. There will be fans there who know the drivers on the track and who cheer loudly for their favorites. I will be where racing is racing and drivers are drivers and fans are sincere and dedicated.One final note: Cody, you know I respect you a great deal and I have absolutely no problem with you "stirring the pot" as I think the differences of opinions makes for interesting discussions. I was at the race in Charlotte to which you refer standing in the pits watching for Davey and Kyle to come around. From the angle I saw it in person and then many times on replay, I saw Davey come across Kyle's front end. Nothing intentional on either drivers' part, just a racing deal. Duck Boy admitted, even again yesterday, that he did what he did intentionally. To me, that is the difference.

Maybe NASCAR should have a rule to if you wreck somebody you should have to pay the wrecked car's team for either fixing it or replacing it. Also, the guilty party would have to pay this out of his own pocket. If these highpriced drivers had to like the local drivers do, they might use a little more sense when racing.
