Sitting Carl out for a week may or may not send a message, but they won't know until they do it. Will be interesting to see what we hear from NASCAR tomorrow.

They both race in the Nationwide series, too. And ask Kryle about how Brad raced in _that_ series sometime. Carl didn't flip Brad, he spun Brad. It just so happened that instead of spinning into the grass Brad got airborne. It was a freak (albeit 100% preventable) accident. NASCAR has to put this into the context of other incidents. Carl picked a straightaway with no other drivers nearby to deliver his message. Of all places to do a bad thing, that was actually the safest. Sitting Carl will _not_ put this to an end; that will just cost Carl two more races. One for the penalty and one because you know danged well that Brad is going to take a shot at him later, too. Frankly, the better punishment for Carl is to put him on the track at Bristol. From the sound of it, all the Penske _and_ some of the RCR cars will make sure Carl understands that they are upset with him. Food for thought (and low-cal, at that):

Somebody could've been killed simply because he used poor judgment regarding a score he wants to settle. I agree – they’ve got to penalize Edwards for this one.
