GET READY FOR MORE ACTION
Posted 03/15/10 at 11:32 AM PDT
As if the 2010 season wasn’t exciting enough, NASCAR’s reaction to the Carl Edwards-Brad Keselowski incident last week just triggered a slippery slope. By not suspending or placing a fine on Edwards for his actions in Atlanta, NASCAR has sent the message to the garage that drivers are on their own when it comes to working out problems with each other.
With the season’s next race coming at Bristol Motor Speedway this Sunday, perhaps we’ll see more of the "Have at it, boys" mindset before the weekend is over. Known as the "World’s Fastest Half-Mile," Bristol is a high-banked, half-mile, modern day coliseum. Twice a year 43 drivers strap in for some of the most intense action all season. The racing is tight and the possibility for frustration is essentially assumed. Since its reconfiguration to progressive banking in 2007, multiple grooves in the corners have led to two- and three-wide racing.
Over the course of a 500-mile race at Bristol, tempers are put to the test and at the end of the day one driver is usually ready to smack another upside the head. Dale Earnhardt’s done it. Jeff Gordon’s done it. Rusty Wallace has done it. Heck, Kevin Harvick jumped over Greg Biffle’s car to do it.
Throw in the double-file restarts and the three attempts at a green-white-checkered finish and you have a recipe for disaster.

Matt Kenseth is having himself a nice little year. He is second in points. He has an adorable daughter to dote over. And he is married to the woman whom Krissie Newman once called the Julia Roberts of NASCAR - Katie Kenseth. The former Kate Martin keeps a low profile, not unlike her husband. (This was not the easiest gallery to assemble.)

This is an outrage. Texas Motor Speedway has absolutely, positively NO MORAL RIGHT to profit from the wreckage of Peter Frampton's career. For shame.
Tip of the hat to From the Marbles.
EVERYONE HATES BRAD KESELOWSKI

Brad Keselowski admits he has been a jerk, has a conspiracy theory about the Carl Edwards wreck and compares NASCAR's current state of new driver development to the Holocaust. Angriest. Ginger. Ever. (ESPN)
