Classless Carl

[B.R.O.]

yea and whos happy harv to talk? Look back at his cheap shots the way he races Logano. really dont care one way or the other about these two guys but it is good to see "bad brad" get some of his own medicine. Carl knows what he's doing, look for his interview a ways back where he explained how Mark Martin taught him how to race his rookie year with give and take. Carls classless but Sr.was a legend doing the same as the "intimidator"? What was a driver thinking if he saw the black 3 behind him on the last lap? Dont get me wrong I liked Sr. and fall into the school of if its toward the end all bets are off. If you want to watch cars race and not touch each other there is the open wheel circuit.

I wouldn't be afraid of any of these guys. They are all (with the exception of a few) 5 foot nothing and 120lbs. It would be like watching midget MMA. Would be fun to watch.

[LMITOUT]

I'm all for the "rubbin is racing, Harry" and the "have at it, boys" attitude, but thats not what Carl is doing. He's out for blood because he's been beat time and time again in the corners. The guy is such a meat head that he can't figure it out until after it ! happens, so then his only action is to flat out wreck the guy and then the rest of the field behind him.

Stop comparing him to Dale Sr.. Rattling cages and completely destroying them are two different things and thats why people have had enough of "Cousin Carl".

[LMITOUT]

Sounds like carl is now 60 pts lighter and both were put on double secret probation.

Why was brad penalized?? ? ?

[gregg52]

nothing different from 3 to 99 taking out guys

its just that the 3 maybe took out better guys that could save a car somwhat better and didnt appear to bad i'm pretty sure the 5 nosed into the wall from the 3 pushing him

the 3 took people out no different than anybody does today

[LMITOUT]

Oh please.

[harvey lee]

It's completely different.

[spearchucker]

It's completely different.

Only because he was Dale Earnhardt.

[harvey lee]

It's not due to the fact that it was Dale E or for that matter anyone else who raced like Dale.

Many drivers have done what the #3 did. Not so many do what CC did.

If a race fan cannot grasp that, it cannot be explained.

There is a difference and one cannot say they are all alike in any way.

[PierBridge]

Not sure what happened on the track as I didn't see it.

But they're totally different PEOPLE personality wise. Just about everybody liked Dale because he was a likable person off the track hence his popularity.

Just the opposite for Carl who has social issues which is putting it mildly. And I think his social issues lead to bad decisions on and off the track where as Dale generally had a good reason and dolled out the correct punishment for the most part on the track.

Comparing the two is absurd in my opinion.

[B.R.O.]

what social issues? I don't follow Carl and am just curious of what he's done?

The only drivers Ive really heard about from fans that have real life story's of them were Hamlin and Kurt Bush, I guess they are both big pricks. While Mark Martin is I'm told the class of the field.

[trolloni]

what didnt you guys watch the race ?musta blinked on the lap before the checkers when bad brad run into edwards ,i could really care less untill i read how harvick is a bad mutha ,hes the biggest chump out of all of em !he proved that many years ago when jumped biff from behind!i d love to see that stick boy get thumped! He aint nothin !!

[harvey lee]

There is a huge difference in how Brad hit Carl and how Carl hit Brad.

Totally different.

[creepworm]

No class, just a hillbilly.

[LMITOUT]

Ryan Newman had some great comments about the incident. He said it was closer to attempted manslaughter than "have at it boys". When he was asked why the self-policing part of "have at it boys" isn't working he responded: "Brad hasn't decked Carl yet. Brad just needs to go up there and lay one across his lip and everything would be fine".

[gregg52]

ryan may have a point

but bk would be walking away with fatter lips

unless carl just flat out cant fight (which i doubt)

theres few in better physical shape than him in the garage

as far drivers go any way

newman being one of those i think

but the like likes of havick..kelowski and the rest have slim chance of whopppppppin edwards i'm afraid

[harvey lee]

OK, Edwards is a bully and a hack. I guess Carl wins both awards.

I think we are talking racing and not boxing. Maybe Carl joined the wrong sport.

Lets see a Tyson-Edwards fight with Tyson in his prime. Carl would be nothing short of a 10 second loser.

This is racing. Carl is in the wrong sport but, boxing I doubt would be a good place for Carl either.

To bad there is not a sport for bullies.

[gregg52]

who knows maybe he coulda been the next "great white hope " lol

i guess i wouldnt put carl in the animal catorgoy lol (tyson)

it is racing i agree but everyone is saying bk should go down

and pop him one

well i think theres good reason he dont

[harvey lee]

BK should let NASCAR take care of it. I know NASCAR likes some of this for the media but I do not believe they like to see it go as far as Carl took it.

I don't care who the bully on the block is, there is always one tougher around that will clean ones clock.

Carl can continue his ways and someone will lay him on his back. Just a matter of time.

[LMITOUT]

Carl can continue his ways and someone will lay him on his back.

Just like Harvick did to him a couple of years ago. KH might not be real big, but he's a scrapper!

[Big Tom]

Why didn't they just Black Flag Carl? More drama than a beauty pageant.

[LMITOUT]

He wrecked Brad on the last lap coming to the finish line.

[harvey lee]

NASCAR is more into fines and points than black flags.

sounds like a man crush to me.

Size ain't nothing a good punch in the face can't equalize. Get the bell ringing.

[harvey lee]

How about lets just go racing. If Carl is so tough, maybe he should take up boxing and see what he can do with an old timer like Mike Tyson.
