At the expense of Nationwide Series points leader Brad Keselowski, Carl Edwards won Saturday night’s Missouri-Illinois Dodge Dealers 250 at Gateway International Raceway, as Keselowski wrecked and took several hard hits just short of the finish line while battling Edwards for the lead. As Edwards and Keselowski raced side-by-side off the final corner, contact between their two cars sent Keselowski hard into the outside wall, then across the track into the inside barrier, where Shelby Howard smashed into Keselowski’s Dodge. Edwards continued across the stripe, followed closely by Reed Sorenson. Pole-sitter Trevor Bayne ran third, Paul Menard fourth and Steve Wallace fifth. Keselowski was credited with a 14th-place finish after Howard knocked him across the finish line. NASCAR continued to review the finishing order at race’s end. The victory was Edwards’ second of the season and the 27th of his career. The last-lap contact between Edwards and Keselowski appeared to be Edwards’ payback for getting moved out of the lead by Keselowski a handful of laps from the finish. Keselowski came to the pits on Lap 180 of 200 after Ryan Truex’s spin in Turn 4 brought out the fourth caution of the race. Keselowski restarted sixth on Lap 184, as the five drivers ahead of him — Bayne, Sorenson, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Howard and Brian Scott — elected to stay on the track. By the time Kevin Harvick smacked the Turn 2 wall on Lap 188, Keselowski was running second behind Bayne. Keselowski had …
@travis4truth The same can be said for brad. He’s just as dirty as you say Carl is. What if Carl had wrecked when Brad got into him in turn one? Would you say the same thing about Brad? I think not. What about Brad’s daddy? His words: “I’ll get back in my uniform and settle this myself.” What do you think he meant to imply? Don’t be so blatantly biased.
travis4truth we may respect wins but we also respect someones life. if we were to get hurt or killed we would be pretty mad at him. but i do agree racing isnt fun when you see someone crash like that but he isnt hurt. brad needs to know that he might not want to be in a racecar if he is going to be a baby like that.
The begininning of this video sums it up best… rubbin’ is racin’ As much as I hate to see stuff get tore up and people risking getting hurt because two guys get pissed at each other, but at the same time DAMN it’s exciting!
when u hit someone make sure u hit um right.. and carl does it right
How bout my boy Collin Braun finishing 7th. WOO!
Regarding Edwards and Kesolowski, Carl needs to just sit down, look at all of the wrecks between you 2, and see who is the bigger man here. Love Bob’s interview and the second time i’ve heard assinine used in the nationwide series. Pretty common word.
I don’t want to hear Carl whine like a baby when a race is “taken” from him one day. . Jerk.
carl made him his bitch haha
@travis4truth if brad is worried about his life he shouldnt climb in a racecar
You can tell from the comments here that carl edwards fans respect a win more than someones life… thats when racing isnt fun..
carl edwards is a gangster lls
is this guy carl on something.
Hey its racing tit for tat
I used to hate Carl Edwards but this just makes him the fucking man. Carl Edwards is THE MAN its Brads fault he didn’t rub him into the wall he should have known that Edwards was going to get him back. That was amazing Carl has balls.
What is it with Penske drivers and their dads lol
Love the drama!
I think Nascar finally got a good match for the Mark Webber flip a couple weeks ago. Good to here no one was hurt and Carl was penalized.
fuck Edwards….what a fucking jackass…I hope someone flips him over on purpose
Sore loser Carl. I used to like you.
bumping is fine but trying to kill a driver is going to far. Carl needs to sit out a race so he can get back on his meds.
@Ladykiller4187 lol agreed, i just looked at his profile.
Carl Edwards is garbage.
@777YFZ450 You don’t have too much room to talk about ugly faces buddy… You’re definitely no prize. Just sayin
please tell me what “have at it boys” meant…does it mean we can make a new commercial but you still have to drive like pussys…I mean idk about others but i love seeing this…you cant tell me the ol 3 car wouldnt have put a bumper to keselowski…come on lol…besides id rather have brad dead his face drives me crazy hes soo ugly
I wish Reed Sorenson could have won
From an ex-racer, you get what you give. Keselowski turned into Edwards purposely, anyone who’s a real racing fan or driver can see that. Watch the hands, it wasnt a slip, it wasnt an accident. Edwards just held on. Edwards, apparently still fed up with the kids BS, gave it right back and then some. Yes, dangerous, but thats the sport. You cant keep runnin people over as a youngblood in the sport and expect folks to be cool. Kudos to Edwards. Hopefully they dont tear up the Cup cars now.
