NASCAR News: Edwards Gets Huge Penalty

Posted 3/6/2008 on East Coast Bias

After thinking about it for a few days, NASCAR dealt a harsh penalty to Carl Edwards and his team for a missing oil tank lid cover. Edwards was docked 100 points and the 10 points of seeding for the victory if he makes the Chase, while his crew chief is $100K lighter and has 6 weeks to think about it. Seems a little harsh to me.

Plus explaining the "it's okay, the cameraman was in the way" non-penalty against Edwards late in the race, when a tire bouncing away from the pit stall was considered to be nothing at all. At ...

Ok, I never thought that Carl Edwards would have won the race with all that he and his team went thru today. First he was penalized when one of his tires rolled away from his pit during a stop.

But NASCAR determined the tire broke free because a cameraman was obviously in the way. “When you think you didn’t actually break a rule, you ...
