Nationwide Series - Last Lap Crash @ Gateway + My Rant on Carl Edwards
by Aniro Thu Jul 22, 2010 1:39 am
OK, how many times has Carl Edwards nearly killed the following?
Seriously, because I'm shocked that Edwards didn't get a suspension from at least the Nationwide Series. Yes, I know BK is a rookie, a careless rookie. Yes, I know that he still isn't over the fact that he got turned over at 'Dega by BK last year when going for a win, but dammit, is Carl Edwards turning into some sadist freak that's enjoying wrecking a (I forget how old he is) 19 or 20-something kid and risking any of the following three serious harm? I mean, it was bad enough when NASCAR gave him a slap on the wrist for dumping him during the Cup race at Atlanta while he was over 100 laps down...
That being said, I do understand that it was the last lap, and it was to go for the win, that I will not take away. But with recent history between Edwards and BK, this really can't be ignored. I saw his gloves make a turn to the left to take out BK on the way to the line, when he could have made it just as exciting with a photo finish! To make it worse...BK got t-boned two or three more times, before coming across the line and Edwards didn't show any remorse for the fact that he could have still killed someone!
If this were 2000 and not 2010, then BK and the other drivers involved would have suffered serious injury or worse...same applies to Atlanta.
