Carl Edwards
In what has become a bigger Bristol, the racing at Dover is just one crash after another as the "Monster Mile" has justly earned it's name. Not only seen in the Cup race but also the Busch race the day before, wreck after wreck seemed to dominate the action. When you did get to see some racing it was for a very short period of time. But Carl Edwards was able to dodge the bullet all day and came up with his first win in the final ten race format to the championship.
But did Carl win fair and square? Seems his car was a little too low when it went for post race inspection which puts a damper on the win. As competitive as the series is I guess all the teams will try to find a way to gain an advantage. But the Nextel Cup rules are there for a reason and I think a penalty should be handed down to save the integrity of the sport.
Getting back to the main point of this article, which is the racing at this particular venue. Is this a track that they should be running at? Are the constant yellow and red flags what the fans want to see? Is it the particular tire that NASCAR ran for this weekend the problem? These are all questions that come into play when evaluating the train wreck of a weekend at Dover. What do you think? The "Auto Racing Junkie" wants to know!
