texastrophies Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Should he be punished for purposely wrecking Brad K.? When they interviewed him afterwards, he basically admitted he did it on purpose but didn't mean to flip him. What are your thoughts?

Yellowhammer Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 I think he should be punished, have points taken away or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NS whitetail Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 well............... it does happen all the time, but I say YES ~ punishment in some form is a must. It is kinda funny, if you were driving down the highway doing 60 mph and did that to your ex-wife because you really dislike her ....... you would be charged I am sure, do it on the track at 190 mph ... no big deal.

hoythunter37 Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Well I would have to say he should be. Although I was have to say that he should be rewarded for his honesty. lol At least he had the nerve to stand up and pretty much say "Ya I did, but didnt mean to put him in the air." lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TennesseeTurkey Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Anyone should be punished for wrecking a guy purposely, BUT Carl is the man IMO for getting him back especially after what he did to him earlier in the race AND from last year @ Dega....

Ravin R10 man Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 I'd say a huge fine and suspension for a race or two..lucky the car didnt go up into the fence and hurt a fan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttinbuc Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 (edited) Sit him down for a month. That attitude of "yea, I did it " does not change a thing. What would he be saying or up against if someone did get killed? Edited March 8, 2010 by ruttinbuc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TennesseeTurkey Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 HEY! dude did the same thing to him last year at Talladega and he DID end up in the stands hurting people! Not saying two wrongs make a right but that dude didnt have a month suspension or any suspension for that fact! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttinbuc Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 That was in the heat of the moment going for the checkered flag. It was a racing accident! No where near the stupid stunt today. I like Carl Edwards too, but that was stupid at that point in the race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree it was stupid at that point in the race carl was down about 200 laps but he did deserve to be wrecked, just not at 180 mph upside down and almost in the fence....

ruttinbuc Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Sorry Will, you are looking at it through the blind eyes of a fan. If it would have been anyone else would you really be so emotional. The wreck last year could have anyone taking him out and most drivers would have went for the win the same way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl is a smart guy I dont think he let his emotions get the best of him, I think that if (I cant remember his name) had accidentally wrecked him earlier in the race or last Carl would have let it go....

AdvantageTimberLou Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 We have raced with Brad here in Michigan, he is a good guy, he didn't deserve that. You don't spin a guy out at 185MPH. Carl didn't think, plain and simple. Not sure what NASCAR will do but they need to do something to prevent someone doing this in the future and hurting or killing a driver or the fans.

Chrud Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 You don't spin a guy out at 185MPH. Carl didn't think, plain and simple. I agree. They showed a replay from a lap or two before when Carl tried to wreck Brad. Plus, Carl should know by now that you always wear black gloves inside a race car. Edwards should be parked for a race or two. I don't have a problem with drivers getting even, or payback, but you don't do it on a track that fast. You save that for a short track. It is still dangerous on short tracks, but the chance of the car getting airborne is far less. And I've been saying it since day one of the COT...they HAVE to get that dang wing off the car and put a blade back on it. The wing is the reason these cars are getting airborne on asphalt.

Amen brother! Carl tried for a few laps to take Brad out. I think they should make an example out of Edwards. I like Carl, but you cannot spin someone out in the middle of the front strech on a track that fast and not expect them to flip. The roof flaps are no where near as big as the wing, and when they get turned around going 185 m.p.h., the roof flaps do very little to keep the car from going over. The bigger surface area of the wing is just too much...it's got to go. As to the first incedent of the race between them two...that looked like Edwards fault to me. Brad was on the line and Edwards looked like he moved down on him. I didn't see Brad's car turn to the right at all, it looked like he just held his line on the bottom.

VABuckSlayer Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 I like Carl Edwards a lot but he needs to be suspended for at least 1 race for that. Very uncalled for and I thought it was a little out of character for Carl. They have Bristol coming up in a couple weeks... he should have saved the retaliation for then! He even admitted after seeing the replace that he came down on Brad but he still thought Brad should have given him room. No excuse though for what he did to Brad!

Yall need to watch ESPN this morning, they have showed Brad wrecking Carl in the Sprint and Nationwide 4 times in the last year and Carl hasnt retaliated once until yesterday. He also made a statement as to why he did it when he did, he said he didnt wait until Bristol because he would have taken out more cars than just Brad. Brad's been wrecking him a lot in the last year and Carl had enough yesterday, AND to they guy who made the post about Bard not moving right into Carl needs some glasses Brad DID move up the track just enough to bump Carl in the quarter panel sending him up the track into Logano.

AdvantageTimberLou Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Brad got lucky, he was unhurt. Carl got lucky too. Today's headline in paper's across the country could have read, "NASCAR stock car goes into the stands, kills several" It could have happened guys, NASCAR got lucky, and God was maybe playing a role in this and keeping that #12 car inside the track. You simple don't take someone out on purpose at 185MPH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah thats so true, dont get me wrong guys Carl shouldnt have done it when he did on the front strech at 190, but he definately didnt need to wait until Bristol either....

texastrophies Posted March 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 What was wrong with after the race, behind the hauler? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kat Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Carls my number 2 driver. I have no problem with him getting even...it was just too bad that Brad flipped. If he had wrecked and didn't go airborne this wouldn't even be an issue. He coulda chose a better time. Brad is a lil cocky for a rookie and needed put in his place. Just hate that he got flipped in the process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Supposedly from Edwards FACEBOOK page: "My options: Considering that Brad wrecks me with no regard for anyones safety or hard work, should I: A-Keep letting him wreck me? B-Confront him after the race? C-Wait til bristol and collect other cars? or D-Take care of it now? I want to be clear that I was surprised at his flight and very relieved when he walked away. Every person has to decide what code they want to live by and hopefully this explains mine." Pretty much says it all. IMO they should have taken care of it "behind the scenes", a little "wall to wall counseling" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan Givan Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 (edited) I really dont think Brad hit Carl on purpose earlier in the race. However, I see no reason to punish Carl because NASCAR did slack up on the rules this year regarding bumping and trading paint. Carl just meant to spin him around, not send him in the air. How often does a car get airborne when they get spun around? Not very often. It was just good ol racing like it used to be, taking care of problems between drivers and it didnt turn out so well. IMO they should let it go. Edited March 8, 2010 by Ethan Givan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kat Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 I agree with ya Ethan, but anytime these cars have been turned around and not spun, they went airborne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan Givan Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 I agree with ya Ethan, but anytime these cars have been turned around and not spun, they went airborne. Yeah if the car doesnt spin completely around and puts the back end first, that wing on the back gives them lift and the flaps on top the car are useless. They really need to go back to the traditional spoilers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
