Untitled PostCarl Edwards put a second straight whuppin’ on the Sprint Cup field in the UAW Dodge 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway Sunday. About now he should be preparing for the spanking that NASCAR is going to give him and the Roush Racing Office Depot Ford.

Edwards’ race car failed post-race inspection. The lid for the oil tank was missing. Several Nationwide Series teams were docked points, cash and had crew chiefs suspended for similar infractions last week. Scene Dailey has this quote from NASCAR.

NASCAR spokesman Ramsey Poston said he wasn’t sure where the oil tank cover was found, only that it was off the tank. The victory still stands, he said.

“We’ll take the 99 back to the [Research and Development] Center [in Concord, N.C.], take a look at it there, and if there are any actions that will be taken, we’ll make that announcement as we normally do next week,” Poston said.

At his presser, Carl talked about overcoming adversity a couple times during the race. You can view Carl’s video here. With the way NASCAR has been coming down hard on most infractions - see Robby Gordon - Edwards should prepare for the worst and enjoy leading the Sprint Cup Series points. Its not looking like it’s going to last.
