    It was also determined it was due to mechanical failure, not tampering as the others. How can you call it a slap on the wrist when it during the Chase that he is a part of?

    Yeah as I read one place, a 25 point penalty at this point is equivalent to I think it said, 2.5 times what the penalty would be during the regular season (so to speak).

    Granted, I think that was through his team, so take that with a bit of a grain of salt.
    What we've got here is failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach, so you get what we had here last week which is the way he wants it. Well, he gets it.

    He could still be leading the chase after 2 weeks....I'm sorry if you have a car that doesn't pass inspection durring the chase , you should be out, no question, especially with the likes of Jimmie Johnson in the chase, and his cheating tendencies....

    Re: Carl Edwards Slapped on Wrist

    I could agree if it was deemed intentional, but due to a mechanical malfunction, well, that is pretty ludacris.


    He wasn't leading the Chase anyway though.

    25 points is alot in the chase. jeffy gordon would have been champion in 2004 with 25 extra points.

    Plus, Tony was found guilty of the same infraction last week according to reports, but wasn't fined at all. Now, complain about Carl getting a slap on the wrist.

    How could you pass a pre race inspection and fail the post race inspection??

    Re: Carl Edwards Slapped on Wrist

    According to Dave Despain Stewart was below the required height limits at NHIS last weekend. Which brings up the point of why penalize either one if it is not an advantage to the race car? It would create better drag with the wing higher in the air.
