It was more like a pat on the back than a slap on the wrist.
In fact, NASCAR practically gave Carl Edwards a “high-five” Tuesday afternoon in handing out a meager, guess-we-gotta-do-something, three-race probation to the high wattage driver for his dangerous on-track retaliation Sunday at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
Footage of Edwards intentionally wrecking Brad Keselowski late in Sunday’s Sprint Cup Series race — Keselowski’s car launched in the air and slammed down on the retaining wall — has made the network news and piqued interest overseas.
Even the tabloid show Inside Edition was asking NASCAR President Mike Helton questions after his announcement that Edwards would not face any severe penalties for his high speed “gotcha”.
Part of what makes this case both rare and interesting is that there has been so much outrage and so many calls for a driver to be suspended for his actions on-track.
