NASCAR told its drivers to “have at it” this season. After all, what’s a little bumping and heavy banging in the name of television ratings, improved attendance and high marks on fan surveys, right?
Four races into the season, however, even NASCAR has had to draw the line somewhere.
Across Carl Edwards‘ forehead.
Call it unintended consequences or simply a case of mixed messages. But NASCAR, Edwards and Brad Keselowski, who was on the receiving end of Edwards’ retaliatory 180-mph temper tantrum, are very lucky someone didn’t get seriously injured.
Running 156 laps down — yes, 156 laps down — Edwards intentionally turned his Ford into Keselowski’s sixth-place Dodge with seven laps remaining in Sunday’s Kobalt Tools 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
