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.
Doug Jenkins turns in his report
of the recently wild finish at NASCAR'S Kobalt Tools 500 Race at
the Atlanta Motor Speedway, with Carl
Edwards and Brad Keselowski providing the fireworks
