Brad Keselowski: Edwards 'About Killed Me,' Should Be Suspended

You need to look at the film of the first incident between Carl and Brad. Carl came down on Brad. The bozos in the booth began claiming Brad hit Carl. Well, he did, because you can’t stop on a dime at those speeds. Carl had a lane but couldn’t stay in it and tried to get into Brad’s. Then he goes out, literally waits on Brad like a hunter stalks prey to take him out. So in effect he wrecked Brad for a wreck Carl caused. Carl has taken out most of the drivers in the field at one time or another. I remember one time when Mark Martin called Carl "just one of those ‘truck’ drivers when explaining who wrecked him. You think Brad doesn’t have friends? Carl is the one who doesn’t have friends.

No one says anything for Keselowski and all his aggressive driving. He got what he deserved. Did Carl mean to get him airborne? I highly doubt it.
I like how everyone on here is hating Carl as well. That’s real mature, to have a one sided view of the situation. Keselowski has been involved in more wrecks that Halle Berry and Lindsay Lohan combined.
Should Carl be suspended? No. Should he be docked any points? No. Not unless Keselowski is done the same way for his actions as well.

Look at the Talladega race Brad, what did you almost do to Carl and people in the grandstands? Brad wants to wreck everyone everyweek he’s gonna get pay back.

When I heard that NASCAR head honchos decided to “turn them loose” and let the drivers be “self policing” I wondered to what extent ? and how will they “police” themselves? How will the drivers resolve their issues? Who’s going to enforce this “self policing”? Now here we are. Will this event set a precedent? Will NASCAR take Brad’s recommendations on Carl’s punishment? Will NASCAR make an example out of Carl? How do you say on one hand we’re going to encourage rivalries,paybacks,bumping/rubbing etc but only to an extent? Where is the line in the sand drawn? These decisions(from NASCAR officials) seem intentionally vague and ambiguous and perhaps a bit reckless? One other thing to ponder: If the roles were reversed and Brad “Crashlowski” had hit “Keeping it classy” Carl, would we have been as shocked,surprised,disappointed? I doubt it. But since I am a devoted Carl Edwards fan, I am quite disappointed in what seems to be this new dad’s first temper tantrum. I’m sure he will get a severely long time out! I think it’s time to re-write the new free for all,anything goes play book. Evidently these boys can’t play nice?!

“which is not at all what I expected” Does this not show forethought and intent?? He should be out at Bristol, docked 100 points and fined $100,000. Period.

Keselowski didn’t deserve it, and if NASCAR has a problem with this sort of behavior then they should back it up by their actions. I honestly don’t expect much to come of it, but we’ll see.

It’s interesting looking at what Edwards said to the media after the first wreck and then what happened later. Most of the time I can’t help liking the guy, but sometimes I swear he has a psychotic alter ego.

Well, it didn’t take long for all the Brad K. supporters to come running to his defence against big nasty Carl Edwards. Even the great Mike Joy said that it was not right. That shows that no one in the booth is watching the same race the fans are. K puts how many people into the wall and then calls it a ‘racin’ deal’, then when the hammer falls on him, he whines like a pup. He is a Dale Earnhardt wannabe and honestly, he couldn’t carry Big E’s heel heat shields. This crap wouldn’t have been tolerated 15 years ago. If peeling himself off the fence every race didn’t smarten him up, then one of the veteran drivers would teach him a little respect back in the garage area. Remember Kurt Busch and Jimmy Spencer, y’all? NASCAR has got the drivers so worried about being suspended that they put up with this crap, and the fans have had enough. Then they say that they are going to let the drivers police themselves, and this is the first big test. (Let’s see how NASCAR does, pass or fail?) K isn’t bright enough to let off the gas and let Edwards in and puts 2 cars out of contention early in the race. Then when Edwards turns him, the COT does it’s backwards flip, the one NASCAR said it had remedied, and K is in a bad wreck instead of a spin. Tough break, he wasn’t hurt, no fans hurt and message delivered. Then FOX gives him a mike so he can explain that his 12 incidents were ‘racin’ deals’ and that Edwards just about killed him, when Edwards has to be diplomatic and not say anything controversial because he’s going to the truck. Put on your big boy pants and suck it up, K fans. It’s going to be a bumpy ride.

Carl caused the earlier crash today In the earlier crash, Carl is the one who tried to put his car into the same spot where Brad was already moving. He pulled down on Brad at Talladega, causing that crash. Carl punted Dale, Jr. and turned the 88 Nationwide Car upside down at Fontana and blamed the crash on Dale, Jr. Carl is the precipitating factor in every crash in which he is involved. He needs to be fined, parked and placed on probation, but NASCAR will giggle about this and maybe, just maybe, put him on probation. They will be happy because the controversy got us talking about it. Dolts!

if you look that today’s incident by its self sure its no problem and if your Carl your going to with out a doubt give Brad the benefit of the doubt. but Carl has been wrecked by brad at least 2 times in the last year, and Brad has also wrecked MANY other people the same exact way he wrecked Carl today. so If I’m Carl I’m not going to look at today’s incident as a one off deal or even a racing deal. There is give and take at the cup level, especially 41 laps in to the race. that early you have to give, give, give. Brads MO is take, take, take! and just like the boy who cried wolf, drivers are only going to listen for so long. so when the time comes that there is a wolf, or in this case an honest to god “accident” or “racing deal” Brad has already shot him self in the foot. so IMO Brad had this coming…it just should not have been today. had Brads car not took flight Carl would be being praised just like Denny last year for the same thing….

I would like to know how Carl would feel if this ended in a fatality? I like watching both of them race, but there are some things you just know you shouldn’t do. Everyone says some crap like Brad should have respect for Carl but you don’t get respect if you are not pushing for the win. If Carl wants to wreck Brad, By all means, Go for it, But do it in a light bump of getting him loose, You can clearly see the lap before, Carl went to hit him on the front stretch and missed and almost took himself out and then the next lap at the same spot you can see his white gloves make a turn to the right and did the dumbest fu*king thing ever. He should have just gave him a nudge or got on his rear bumper and got him loose, Instead he performs the P.I.T. maneuver and drives though hid door instead of a light bump and causes this to happen, Carl should be suspended one race, fined $2,000,000, fined 300 driver and 200 owner points and on probation for the rest of the year! I would like to know how Carl would feel if this ended in a fatality? seriously people, Grow up, If I cut you off on the highway, are you going to catch up and spin my car , get me airborne and possibly take out other people and even run the risk of killing them? If so, You are so stupid that your mother should have swallowed you.

What would people be saying if someone had been injured or killed (that includes fans in the seats)?

Carl was racing the 12 too hard at lap 40 because it was the 12.

“What would people be saying if someone had been injured or killed (that includes fans in the seats)?”

Ummm…Talladega, last year…nothing happened, Brad won-Carl’s car got wrecked.
