fullscreenI feel like I should send Carl Edwards a care package. Or at least a nice handwritten note that reads: “Buck up, kid! Everything happens for a reason.” Seems like the right thing to do since he hasn’t won a race this year and crap keeps happening to him.
But on the flip side I would love to take Dale Earnhardt Jr. out for a lovely steak dinner in honor of him reaching the very tippy-top of the Sprint Cup points standings. It’s pretty awesome.
