Carl Edwards Won't Be Suspended

For Keselowski Wreck
(Daytona Beach, FL)  --  Carl Edwards will not be suspended for sending Brad Keselowski airborne during this weekend's Kolbalt Tools 500 in Atlanta.  However, the driver of the number-99 Ford will be under probation for the next three Sprint Cup races.  With just four laps to go in Atlanta, Edwards drove up behind Keselowski and turned him.  That caused Keselowski's car to go airborne and land on its roof.  Several fans were injured by flying debris from the car, but Keselowski was okay.  Edwards was down more than 100 laps at the time, after a crash with Keselowski earlier in the race.  Edwards was black flagged after the later crash.  The next race on the circuit will be March 21st in Bristol.
