I was having an awesome fantasy racing day until Denny took out or impeded several of my drivers. Wow, what a finish. I hate the plate races but thank god they weren’t going any faster than they were. I bet Ryan Newman had to go clean out his firesuit after seeing Carl bounce off his windshiled and up into the fence?!? Anyway, thanks again for a great recap. BTW, I posted a link to bump-drafts on my facebook page.

@Dawg. I thought the same thing but did not address it today. I expect that this this crash and all the fallout will be discussed all week. Whether or not they address, I know I plan to ask the question concerning blocking this week.
Your assessment is spot on.

Let’s give Carl Edwards credit for being a stand up guy for not blaming Brad for the crash.and the jog to the finish line how COOL was that. The fans loved it!

In no way is this meant as a slam on Carl. Blocking is legal, & It works. Just ask Tony.

Overlooked by everyone I’ve read so far. Is that Carl’s wild ride, was caused by blocking. The same move that cost Regan, last race here. As long as a major series allows, & encourages blocking. These kinds of things are going to happen. The way Kurt Busch was blocking all over the track early (as in WAY too early for this stuff) it’s a wonder he didn’t cause another big one then. In no other series, ( except maybe Roller Derby) are cars encouraged to blatently block like this.

It was a wild race and thank you for covering it so well.
