Nascar: 2010

[Joe Wicked]

As far as Carl and Brad, my comments are this, at Talladega, Brad was trying to pass Carl, he went high and Carl blocked, He ducked low and Carl again tried to block, Brad went all the way down to the yellow line and stopped going down (Out of bounds if you make a pass) Carl kept coming down, but Brad was there. Carl spun off of Brad by coming across Brad's nose. The error lies with Carl. Lap 41 at Atlanta, Carl cut down right in front of Brad, Brad lifted (look at the sudden closing rate of the 71 behind the 12) but the difference in speed was too much. No one's fault in my opinion, just a racing accident that happens and will continue. You can't go for it and not get into accidents. Carl retaliated for something he caused and something that was a no fault. That is inexcusable to me. His comments afterward came off, to me, as "If he knows what is good for him, he won't hit me again." His follow up comments and not showing any remorse for it, really solidify that I do not like him. Brad is an aggressive driver and does not just automatically pull over because one of the top stars wants to come through. That is what Racing is about. Maybe Carl should have just pulled over for the top stars when he started. He needs to grow up and I hope Nascar parks him for some time. I also think that they should make a rule where if you get parked in a race, you are disqualified from the race and get 0 points for it.
