The Fueds In NASCAR, When Will It End...
Where did it all start between Kyle Edwards driver of the #99 Aflac Ford Fusion and Brad Keselowski driver of #12 Mopar FLOTV Dodge Charger. Some say it started back at the Aarons 499 Talladega Super speedway when Brad Keselowski moved to the inside when Edwards went high to block him in the final 400 yards of the 188-lap race. Edwards slid back down the track in another attempt to block, but Keselowski already was inside his left-rear quarter panel. Contact between the cars turned Edwards and lifted his rear tires off the pavement. Edwards flew into the path of third-place finisher Ryan Newman’s Chevrolet, and that collision launched Edwards into the fence, Ryan Newman’s wrecked car crossed the finish line 3rd.
It appears that Edwards has crossed the line, and even seemed to realize it after the crash went wrong, during Edwards interview, he was brief in the comments he made to the media, he told NASCAR officials that he got into Keselowski on purpose, but he did not intend to send him flying on the frontstretch into the safety barrier wall on his roof, coming back on all four tires to the inside lane crossing back across traffic coming to rest against the safety barrier wall.
Even after Edwards being 150 laps down at the time of the incident and Keselowski was running a top-five finish.
The retaliation from the Talladega with Keselowski having turned Edwards and sent his car airborne and into the catchfence at Talladega Superspeedway last spring as they both raced for a win. The two drivers started to get together earlier during Sundays Atlanta race when they bumped each other on Lap 41 shoving Edwards into the #20 Home Depot Toyota of Joey Logano, sending both cars to the garage.
But Robin Pemberton, vice president of competition for NASCAR, said the governing body would take its time in examining all the facts before deciding what to do with Edwards, whose No. 99 Roush Fenway Ford was ordered to the garage after wrecking the No. 12 of Keselowski
