I find it funny that Be-Rad can wreck Edwards 2 times prior in addition to the hit today that cost Edwards and Logano, Edwards finally pays him back, and NASCAR parks Edwards. He'll probably get fined, too. I wonder if they'll suspend him.

[Foster]

They wont suspend him, they are too chicken to do something like that to a good driver (Mayfield ). There will be a good size fine, and the promise that Bristol is gonna be good.

[Foster]

Well that was fun. Harvick looked like he was done, but managed a 9th place finish and got me the win. He looks to be on a good pace and looking towards a strong championship season.

As the playoffs proved last year, does it really matter what the standings are?

Carl Edwards should be fined, heavily. There's a time to take someone out, and it's not with seven laps to go. That's completely terrible. Montoya was chasing down Busch and Edwards just decided to halfway ruin the race by causing a green/white/checkered situation (and another..). I'm as a big a fan of old time, rough racing as just about anybody, but that's not what this was. It was totally uncalled for at that point in the race. So, in conclusion, **** Carl Edwards.

I'd go a step further and place him on probation for wreckless driving. He's lucky that K was not seriously harmed, and that no one else was involved in that wreck.

[Foster]

I'd bet probation and fine.

In fact, lets make this a NABSAR bet. Pick one of the following for 5 bonus points. Multiple picks are allowed.

Suspension
Probation
Fine
Nothing cause NASCAR needs this more than you think.
Any combination of 2.

No it will matter who gets to pick Jimmie Johnson more than once.

It doesn't look like he'll be suspended according to this article:

Report says NASCAR will not suspend Carl Edwards - ESPN

[bcshorts]

I'd say probation. He definitely won't be suspended, and one could certainly make the argument that nothing will happen. But it's hard to tell for sure, because we don't know exactly how far NASCAR is going to discipline their drivers under the "new rules". Although I think this is an unusual circumstance because of the time in the race that he did it, so he could he some sort of punishment.

[Porter]

On Tuesday afternoon, NASCAR president Mike Helton announced his decision on punishment for Sunday's spectacular Carl Edwards/Brad Keselowski wreck: probation for three races. No fine, no suspension.
