Bottom line – this season has been tough for “Cousin” Carl. He’s winning races in the Busch series, but is having what some call a “Sophomore” slump in the Nextel Cup. Now poor Carl being classified as NASCAR’s new “Bad Boy” for his retaliation against Dale Jr. during Saturday’s Busch race? This has been a heated discussion in a few of the NASCAR groups I belong to. Most people say it’s “just racin” and that Jr. had the faster car. My question is: where was Edwards to go? He was had Robby Gordon on his driver side with Jr. behind him. When Jr. wrecked Carl on the last lap and ruined his chances of winning, I’d be mad too. As a Carl fan, I do not agree with the actions he took after the wreck by speeding down pit row, finding Dale Jr. during the caution lap and ramming into Jr. I also do not agree with the victory lane confrontation that Carl had with Dale Jr. after he had won.
“No really man.. it was just racin’. You got loose!”
