Myself thought Khane had 4th position but it looked like carl pretty much wasnt ready to give up and spun him out. Your thoughts? I was just curious how everyone else seen it? I like both drivers but was a though call to see who was at fault or just hard racing between both drivers.
 
Not that tough of a call. Carl himself said that it was his fault. He was not happy with himself after the race.
 
I may be wrong and thinking of another late race incident, but didn't Kasey lose a tire to cause Carl to hit him? In the strictest sense of the term, I guess Carl did take Kasey out..........but, that "taking someone out" usually implies intentional. And Carl's hitting Kasey was anything but intentional!
 
It looked like edward took the front nose of hes car and spun Kahne out. I never seen were edward got loose ot lost a tire to of made him run up into kahne. To me it looked like he didnt want to give up that position.

Then thinking after the race he knew he was wrong saying my bad which I respect him for saying so. Again I like carl and just thought he wasnt thinking and didnt want to loose 4th position being so close to the top 10 in points. :)
 
There is no give and take in the last laps of a race. Just hard racing trying not to give up valuable points.

I couldnt of said it better myself! Was just curious however one else seen it.
 
It looked to me like two guys racing hard for position near the end of the race - just like they're told to and, IMO, should.
 
And, Edwards is playing around the 10 place spot for the Chase. He doesn't have any positions to give. His apology afterwards looked sincere enough and it was near the end of the race. So I think he gets a pass on this one.
 
Edwards has a history of taking others out but this one may have just been a racin' deal.

And just exactly is that history?
Sure he's screwed up a couple times making rookie mistakes but list me his history of taking people out.
I'll bet it's not as long as Kasey's, Jamie's, or a lot of the other guys out there.
Carls biggest problem is his eagerness and he over reaches at times. I can't think of 1 time Carl just plain took someone out.

Just what I was thinking...He really has not raced long enough to have "History"
 
i was really pissed at edwards for spinning kane out and killing his car.
i like kane i think he is a really good driver
edwards is allright but he drives for roush and now i think he is a butch for taking out kane like that.
if i was kane i would have beat his ass after the race. i would have been so mad that i would have took at least 15 officals to pull me off of him
 
Do and think what you want, but Carl is 9 points out of 10th in the points and he's fighting for every point he can get. Kasey is 21st in the points, and Carl every right to fight for his position as Kasey has to try and take it. Kasey made that bonzi move because he knew once they got going Carl was faster and would leave him behind, he had every restart before.

And you wouldn't be racing for the rest of the year. I'm a big fan of Kasey's and it ticked me to see what happened to him, but that's been what's happened to him all year long. It was clearly a racing incident and Kasey will have this happen to him more than once during his carreer. As for that matter, so will Carl.

If you are really a racer at your tender young age, you must learn to keep your temper in check while racing or one day you will lose it on the track and someone will have to come along and scrape it up off the track for you. These guys aren't racing slot cars and each and every one of them know what a mistake can do to them on track, let alone something that is intentional.
 
yeah i geuss your are right
but it really did tick me off when i seen that
and i kinda hope that one of the times edwards wins a race and tries to do a back flip that he will mess up and hurt him self
 
^ I'd not like to see any of these guys get hurt.
You gotta be a fool to want to see ANY of these guys get hurt!
 
You know what thought, just thinking... I can guarantee you if was Kahne that took Carl out there would have been 10 kinds of hell. Because he’s in the chase at the top 10 and everyone would of said what’s he’s doing! He’s not even in the chase for the top 10, even Carl himself. But its racing and thats what makes it so much fun to watch I guess. hehehe Cant help it being a Kasey fan! :beerbang:

You don't really think that Kasey could, do you? Carl would smoke him.
 
We've all watched many drivers do very risky moves to make passes, when they work, they're heros for having the guts to make such a move. When they don't, the guy is a zero for making such a stupied move. Most of the time the really risky moves really depend on luck of everything going right for it to succed. IMO the difference is a driver with a few years experience under his belt stands a better chance to succed at these moves because his reasoning and calculating ability have more experience to draw on to help his decision making. A younger, or less experienced driver don't think far enough ahead to calculate a successful move to the end. ...... Ezample; a young guys sees an opening, he knows he can get in there, but his reasoning don't ask him if he has enough momentum to carry him through and completly clear, or if he'd be over driving his car to do it.
Which IMO is the point here of Kasey's move here on Carl. He made the move into the corner getting him along side midway through 1 & 2 coming out of 2 as ALL the cars go wider to the top of the track Kasey's car was loose and the rear was sliding out a bit. There's a great shot real close up just before Kasey hit the wall from a camara right there on the wall and it shows Kasey's car sliding and about a foot between Carls car and Kasey's. I've rewatched the replay in Slo-Mo several times this morning because it showed me something that I hadn't seen before. Carl didn't hit Kasey until after Kasey touched the wall.

You can argue this all you want, but if you replay it from the time they restart and slow motion threw the corner you'll see exactly how it happened.
 
GoDJ go a little easy on DEI (dazed and confused) fan. For someone who is only 13 years old he expresses his opinions like someone who is at least 14. I'm sure his dad and his pap had a lot to do with how he thinks about NASCAR.
 
they just helped me get started into liking it
like my dads favorite driver is tony stweart (or how ever your spell it) and my favorite driver is harvick
 
So Pap likes Rusty. Your dad likes Tony. And, you like Happy Harvick. (You know why he's happy, don't you? Have you seen Delana? :growl: ) Somehow I fail to see the connection to your sig of DEI Fan. None of those 3 have ever driven for DEI and for 2 of them I will say they never will.
 
yeah but but i have 3 favorite drivers that are alive
and 2 drive for dei
Jr. and Truex Jr.
then Harvick
but my all time favorite is dale earnhardt
 
You started watching when you were 5. Dale died when you were 9. I'm not sure that in 4 years, and 2 of them you were still in short pants, that you really knew that much about Dale. Truex Jr.?, in your brief experience what has he done to capture your imagination? Lil'E I can understand. I mean he is forced each and every week down our collective throats. You probably think his jeans ad is cool and dream about drinking Bud when you get older. (If you don't already. Where you from, again?) But at your age you should be looking for a role model and Lil'E sure isn't it.
Stick with Happy.
 
i hate stewart
but i will stick with harvick
he is a good driver but needs to have some luck on his side
and i live in a hillbilly town called Nevada Mo. and it sucks here
