Part of Carl Edward's quote on Bristol: "The problem was that it’s hard to pass here and I know I moved Jon Wood out of the way and moved Denny Hamlin out of the way, but we’re fast and we came here to race. I feel bad for those guys because I know they’re racers too, but we’re faster and that’s only way I’m going to get in front of them, and that’s why Jack Roush hired me."Now I know most of you here think Edwards is awesome and adorable..blah blah blah. But I have to say that this statement totally ticked me off! Isn't he supposed to be friends with Jon? In my opinion, HE DID NOT FEEL SORRY FOR ANYBODY! Yes, rubbin' is racin', but basically to me he's taking the Johnny Slauter approach, if they are in my way, tough! Well excuse me but wasn't Carl the one ticked when Johnny ran him over in Nashville? He wasn't too happy if I remember correctly. He sounds a little hypocritical to me. He also sounds very arrogant, and there's more of that in the whole interview on bgnracing.com. When he was in the truck series he was cool, but to me it seems he's getting a big head, and that my friends, is not cool.*Sorry if I offended anyone, but I had to get it off my chest!

Well, I guess if and when I see him in Charlotte, I'll smack him upside the head. I remember seeing an interview on Wind Tunnel last year, and Carl said that he didn't want to become an egotistical jerk and to smack him if he begins to act like that.
But yeah, those comments that he made were a bit uncalled for.

Well, I tend to get VERY defensive about Jonathan Wood...sorry. I will be in Charlotte too hopefully, so I would love to WATCH you smack him!

Sounds like him and Shane Hmiel have been hanging around each other too much. Since Carl is so great everyone looks over the fact that those statements that he made sounded exactly like Shane's postrace interview. Someone video tape the slap on the head for me... I would love to see it!

<Shane Hmiel Voice> "I don't care about Dale Jarrett, I care about my WINFUEL chevy!" "He said he would get me back, well he better hurry up because he doesn't have much time left" Something along those lines!

:DOMG that is awful but at the same time hilarious in the sense that he would say that about such a respected veteran!! He is going to get his butt kicked!! Jason better not have heard that! Well, when Shane gets mad, he don't care! If you asked him today, he still don't care!

You are right! He is one tough little fighter! He don't care, and when he gets spun out nobody is going to say a thing.

Well, I tend to get VERY defensive about Jonathan Wood...sorry. no need to be sorry lol, I am too...his statement ticked me off too, I read a quote from Jon and he wan't to happy with Carl after Bristol... JON WOOD, No. 47 CLOROX/WISK/FOOD CITY FORD: “Carl has a tendency to drive a little unnecessary to and that was the case today. He ran into several people and he got me. We had top 10 car comfortably. We ran right around there all day. We didn’t really wreck anything or wreck anybody so I’ll take it. Each week we’re creeping up. We’re still having these good racecars. It’s just going to be a matter of time. ”<br> But I guess it's Bristol and tempers go nuts there lol

You are right about the tempers going nuts! At least Jon had a pretty clean day. That's all that matters....maybe it will all be forgotten at Texas. I don't think Shane will be as lucky though.

Calm DOWN! Carl was man enough to come out and face the music. he said what he did was wrong and that he was sorry. OH! And if you hit a driver you will be escorted from the track.
