>When I looked at the situation closer, I began to realize something.
>Carl Edwards' return to the track would have gained him no positions,
>with him being over 150 laps down. Once he pulled on that track, Nascar
>HAD to know what was going on. I have watched this lap 30 video a bunch,
>and sadly, Carl did "swoop" on down on Keslowski. I realize that Kes,

>here on the racing thing. However, I watched "Green, White, Checker" on
>Nascar.com. Those two guys talked about the Edwards/Keslowski deal from
>yesterday like these two have this acrimonious history with each other,
>when in reality, sans the Talladega thing, they've raced rather well
>together. Carl Edwards mantra in his interview with Dick Berggeren was
>about "respect" and the safety of other drivers. How in the buttery
>side of hell can he utter those words, when he himself has done some
>things WITHOUT regard to the safety of those he's retaliated against?
>Nascar said during speedweeks this year that 'the gloves are off. The
>drivers can settle these things on their own". Okay, I agree to a large
>extent on this. Self policing is by far the most effective tool of
>earning and learning respect amongst the drivers. Save it for Bristol,
>Martinsville, Richmond, or something of the like. Not at a 195mph track.
>It's a damned shame that when Nascar finally does listen to the fans,
>and gives them some taste from the days when they raced, it takes one
>dumbass to force Nascar into having to make it clear to certain turd
>heads that there is a time and a place for this. Look at 2005, Dover,
>Fall race. Rusty Wallace spun Ricky Rudd with about 20 laps to go, and
>Rudd was dominating that race. Now, why did ol Rustmeister do this?
>Because of Richmond prior to that, where Rudd drove into the side of
>Rusty's car, and dumped him into the wall, and out of the race. Rusty
>was on his way to a top five finish.

>I know that Keslowski has made some fast enemies, and yes, I'm looking
>at you, Denny Hamlin/Kyle Busch fans. He's done nothing more than they
>themselves have done. Hell, Kyle even hit a parked Casey Mears under a
>red flag at Phoenix in 2006, because in his mind, Mears wrecked him..
>purposely or no, according to Kyle, he deserved what he(Mears) got. The
>douchebaggery continued at Charlotte that same year. Same driver. Blows
>a tire coming out of turn four, Mears again here, going into the
>trioval, wrecks, takes Kyle Busch out of the race. What does master Kyle
>do? Walks to the racing surface himself, because in his mind, according
>to his post accident comments, " A better driver would have been able to
>save it"... bullshit.No driver doing 190mph coming out of turn four at
>Charlotte will save a car from spinning with a blown tire.. NO ONE. So,
>although he blew a tire, Mears was able to continue, and Kyle, well he
>walks out on the racing surface to throw his HANS device at Mears. Why?
>Because he's a manly man.

>So, when you judge Keslowski, be sure and look at the history of other
>drivers involved. After all, in 2000, Jeremey Mayfield punted Dale Sr
>coming out of the final turn at Pocono, something that Sr had done many
>times himself during his career. Mayfield said in his post race
>interview, "It was a good race, and a good win. I don't know if the
>price I'll pay will be worth it though". Sr never retaliated on track,
>other than to give Jerm the finger on the cool down lap. Sr admitted in
>his post race that 'sometimes you give it, sometimes you get it. That's
>racin....' Edwards does drive with the mentality of "I'm bigger than he
>is, and a veteran of Cup racing now, so I deserve more respect."
>Bullshit again. Keslowski's sponsors pay the same good money that the
>remaining 42 cars also get. Now why should he be any less because he's
>around veterans. Hell, he's raced these guys regularly on the Nationwide
>circuit for the last three years, so it's not like he's racing them for
>the first time! So this stupidity of talking about Brad like they've
>never raced against him before is just ego protecting pride.

>I'm done. The asininity is astounding on this one. Good job once again
>Goodyear. Take the Hendrick and Joe Gibbs teams to Atlanta for
>aggressive tire testing, have them put aggressive set ups in the cars,
>then bring a tire that had NOTHING to do with the data collected from
>these tests. Of course, there were a few kiss asses that loved the tire,
>but there was far more that took great umbrage with the way that
>Goodyear continues to collect this data, and then evidently, does
>nothing more than convert it into toilet paper. Bring Michelin, Hoosier,
>Bridgestone/
>these cars as well, and you watch.. Goodyear will crap a tire out that
>will be perfect for the drivers to race on. They are under pressure,
>according to Pemberton, to create a tire that can perform. He also said
>that they brought a good tire this time. He also said that Goodyear
>accepts the blame when it is their fault. Bull! That crap at Indy in
>2008, anyone remember the 400 mile race, broken down in to ten to twelve
>lap increments because they brought a tire that appeared to be made out
>of pencil erasers? Goodyear blamed the track, and the 'diamonding" that
>Tony George does to that thing every year to give the cars more grip,
>and has done that in the ten years or so that Nascar had been running
>there. This problem did not happen until the COT and it's design based
>on an uneven plane, for which Goodyear can't seem to get it right, were
>introduced. Hell, Michelin produces tires that the F1 guys use, and they
>are carbon composite tires! They could really stand ol Goodyear on it's
>head.
