Cousin Carl Edwards has a Rough Week

I am co-host of the syndicated radio show: ON PIT ROW. Over ten years on the air and three on the net; see what can happen when I don't let the facts get in the way of my opinions.

Carl Edward’s past seven days haven’t been anything to write home about.

Edwards crashed out of the race at Talladega by his own accord.  That wreck caused some hard feeling between “Cousin” Carl and Kevin (not-so) “Happy” Harvick.  The bad blood was so thick that it caused a fracus in the Nationwide garage at Lowe’s Motor Speedway.  The pushing and shoving match in the garage resulted in the pair being summoned to the NASCAR trailer for an old fashoned tounge lashing.

Sources said the two combatants shook hands and left with the incident behind them.  If that wasn’t enough drama for the week for Edwards; the saturday night race saw him again leave early with motor troubles.  Edwards now finds himself 168 points behind teammate Greg Biffle and in fourth place in the Chase.  A little over two weeks ago, Edwards was considered the chief competition for Jimmy Jounson to win the Sprint Cup.

And that leads us to this week’s BUZZ ON PIT ROW:

Does the last week show that Carl Edwards and the 99 team are not ready to win a championship?

Let us know what you think and we may use you comments on this week’s ON PIT ROW. Or you can call the show toll free at 1-877-502-8255 and your call could be deemed the “Shell gunk free call of the day” and win a Kevin Harvick bobblehead.  How’s that for irony?  Listen to ON PIT ROW live from 5-7pm at onpitrow.com then tune in to INSIDE ARCA from 7 to 8:30 at arcaracing.com

    Well I agree that Carl has had a very rough week. I do think he needed to set things straight with Harvick after his stupid comments following the reck at ‘Dega. We should see that kind of off track drama more often. This is racing, not figure skating. That being said, Carl and the 99 team have dug themselves a hole. It’s not an insurmountable one, but it demands near perfection from the team for the rest of the season. Let’s not forget: Carl has only made one racing mistake in the chase and that was at ‘Dega. The engine trouble at Lowes was not Carl’s fault and I hope he can bounce back this week at Martinsville.

    Cool article though…
