Ha! That’s what I have to say about Carl Edwards bump & run move on Kyle Busch at the end of the Sharpie 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway this weekend. It was awesome.
To be totally honest with you, I didn’t want either of them to win. I’m still jonesin for new winner to step up this season.
But back to the end of the race, and Kyle losing after leading for 415 laps, I have to say it’s a bit of karmic justice. I mean, I’m sorry but the guy is a freaking tool. See, I didn’t forget what happened back at Richmond this year. I don’t feel sorry for him. He’s won 8 friggin’ races this year. Yes, it sucks to lead all of those laps and have the race taken away but such is life.
I’m glad Carl didn’t apologize. He made it clear that he meant to do what he did. It makes things more interesting I think in the long run and more specifically for the Pepsi 500 on Sunday (yippee!). I’m so glad I’m going to be there.
I really, really, really want to go to Bristol next year. It looks like so much fun and because of the lack of space in the infield, you’d get to really be in the middle of it all.
