Brad Keselowski No. 12 from peseke Racing gets fliped over in lastnights race Kobalt 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway.On lap 323 of 325 Carl Edwards sends Keselowki airborne on the frontstretch.Edwards was order to go to the garage after wrecking No. 12 Keselowski.

       Some say it was payback from last year spring race Talladega SuperSpeedway.These two drivers have a bad past together.Last spring at talladega No. 09 Keselowski sent No. 99 Edwards airborne on the frontstretch to win the race.After that wreck Edwards said that it was partially his fault for coming down on Keselowski and that Keselowski was doing what he had to do to win the race.Then they decided to add to there history of getting together, when earlier during Sundays race at Kobalt 500 when they bumped each other on lap 41 sending Edwards up into No. 20 Toyota Joey Logano and hitting the wall and ruining both of there day.


     Keselowski moved on from that incident and was having a good run while Edwards was in the garage for 150 laps getting his car repaired.Edwards comes back out on lap 190 after spending most of his time in the garage, and purposely comes back out to wreck Keselowski.Keeseslowski was looking to have a top 5 finish.In the post race meeting Edwards told Nascar Officials more and less admitting that he intended to wreck Keselowski but not to send him airborne.

    Robin Pemberton, Vice President of competition of Nascar said, the governing body would take its time in examing all the facts before deciding what to do to Edward, and said they would discuss the incident further "internally" on Monday and Tuesday before announcing any additional penalties for Edwards by late Tueday afternoon.What do you guys think should happen to Edwards.Plz leave a comment on your thoughts.

  1. K.Bush wins the Kobalt 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway.Bush last season dominated this race last season 2009 to win the race.This his second spring race win at ATL after a 2 green white checker attempts.K.Bush took advantage of the second restart and had a strong restart to take the lead and win.This is Bush's first win with his new crew chief  Steve Addington.This is Addington first year with Bush and the Penske racing.Addington used to be Kyle Bush's crew chief at Joe Gibbs.Steve Addington was happy to be in victory lane with Bush and win before little Kyle Bush had a chance to win. 
             Addington said "If i denied that then i be lying," after winning the Kobalt 500."I honestly feels good to be with this race team -- with Kurt as the driver -- and come back and win before the No. 18 car got a chance to win. That's a personal deal ... I'm still great friends with Kyle, it's just a relief in a certain way." Now its off to Bristol Motor Speedway after having the week off this week.
