When is it ok to get some payback? How far do you take it? What should the Punishment be?
As we saw on sunday at Atlanta there was a little rough housing happening on track between 2 drivers Carl Edwards & Brad Keselowski and when we saw Brad clipped Carl in the first incident that took out Carl Edwards we saw that team repair the car and get back out on track but a car that -150 laps down to a car running 6th in the race looking at a good finish get's taken out and it escalates into dangerous levels with the #12 car going airbourne. My Question to you is how far would you go to pay someone back? Until we lose another life...What we saw on sunday was something that a driver did and took a bit to far and didn't seem to show and sympathy for the one involved, instead stating "I didn't think he would go Airbourne". Do you think what Carl did was right? and How far does it have to go for NASCAR to do something before another life is lost? These are the questions that still remain unanswered and the questions that will still remain unanswered unless we do something about it.
I think that what Carl Edwards did was wrong but the punishment does not fit the crime. 3 race probation? come on. What happens when a incident like that would of went from bad to worse and the driver would of gotten seriously injured? The what? What kind of message is that sending out to other drivers? That it's ok to do that until we lose a life. i think that NASCAR needs to re-think there punishment policy based on the incident at hand. Carl Edwards should of been suspended for 1 race and put on probation until 9/5. Why? cause this way he's limited on what he can do when it comes to paying someone back. Cause we all know he will do it again and it may be alot worse then last time. We don't need another 'Dale Earnhardt incident' and i think it's gonna take sometime for NASCAR to realize when is 'too far'! If we don't say anything now then things like this will just keep happening as we watch NASCAR sit back and punish them how they see fit not based on the incident at hand.
Mike Helton did a press conference the other day on this and i think someone needs to tell him that what he's doing is wrong and it doesn't really send a message out. Also it doesn't really teach anyone a lesson, cause we all know it will happen again and this time it won't be pretty!
