Edwards, upset about an earlier incident with Keselowski that took him out of contention, clearly drove into the Penske Dodge of Keselowski with the intention of spinning him.  Retribution is one thing; I\u2019m a former racer and I know how that goes.  Wrecking someone intentionally, at full speed, thus putting driver\u2019s and spectator\u2019 lives in danger, is something else entirely.<\/p>\n<p>Afterwards, Edwards commented that, \u201cBrad knows the deal between him and I.  Maybe we won\u2019t get in anymore incidents.  That would be the best thing; the best thing would be for Brad and I not to get together anymore and we probably won\u2019t.  I\u2019m just glad everybody is alright.\u201d  In other words, you\u2019re sorry because you got caught, and Keselowski shouldn\u2019t try to even the score.<\/p>\n<p>NASCAR needs to take clear, decisive action on behavior like this.  Pulling points and levying a fine just won\u2019t cut it.    <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/Qx82BOpzWzX3C6ogv2240fxWkkM\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/Qx82BOpzWzX3C6ogv2240fxWkkM\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/Qx82BOpzWzX3C6ogv2240fxWkkM\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/Qx82BOpzWzX3C6ogv2240fxWkkM\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In NASCAR, it\u2019s said that \u201crubbing is racing\u201d.
