Edwards apologizes to Stewart
Carl Edwards has allowed the winter to cool him off.
After Tony Stewart triggered a three-car collision at Pocono Raceway last July, Edwards, whose car was involved in the crash, came back at Stewart, asking, "How can a person make it this far in life and be that much of a jerk?"
Last week Stewart responded to Edwards on his weekly talk show on Sirius satellite radio.
Stewart, who has been fined by NASCAR in the past for various incidents, said he's not afraid of his feud with Edwards costing him money. In fact, he said he's planning ahead this year.
"I promise you this and I promise the race fans this: The next time that I hear Carl Edwards tell me that he's going to make me bleed he better be ready to do it right then and there. Straight up," Stewart said. "I don't care what the fine is from NASCAR. I've got $50,000 saved."
For Edwards part, he offered his apology Monday while at Daytona International Speedway for testing.
"What I did wrong was I got out of the car and made it a personal attack and said some things I shouldn't have said," Carl Edwards said. "Obviously, I was really upset with Tony. For that, I apologize. I shouldn't have done that. "I've learned that we're all in this together. I'd do anything in the world for Tony. He's a good guy. I hope we can put that behind us. I hope it's water in the bridge. If we can go into Daytona and draft together and finish 1-2 in the Daytona 500, that'd be fine with me."
