Speed tv has Nascar all day from Atlanta, trucks and cup cars.
Daytona 200 Superbike race 9:pm-11:30 if the track doesn't fall apart.

Todd and Geoff Bodine have 'Night Train' and 'BoDyn Bobsled Project' race trucks. Geoff is 60 years old. If you've never seen his truck wreck at Daytona, youtube it.
GOAT was top 10 in the first truck practice, he will race tomorrow then hop a jet to Daytona to work in the Speed tv booth.

ANYONE BUT MONTOYA !!!

holy shit, Edwards took out Keselowski ! This will not look good after the contact earlier today. I think I'm losing a ton of respect for the 99 driver.

Dick move by Edwards. HE was 150 laps down. C'mon man. JPM might have been able to take Busch, now the restart becomes huge.

It was the wing that flipped the car over, its obvious.
Still, Edwards should be parked for this race and will be on Nascar oval office probation for the rest of the year.

This is a situation where NASCAR had to step in...

There's letting the drivers settle things on the track, then there's the bullshit Edwards just pulled.

Edwards should be docked 100 points for that garbage. That was 100% blatant and he either needs to be docked 100 points or suspended a race.

That comment to Dick Berggren just hurt him even more. "Brad knows the deal" and then saying basically 'Yes I took him out but didn't expect him to get upside down.' Oh he is in trouble. I predict a one race suspension. Brad K. had a good point about the fans' safety. Thats not cool.

3 to go and Martin is out. damn.

WOOHOO! Hell yeah! Great race! They need to get rid of that damn 3 attempts crap though. As for Edwards...total bullshit. Lost all respect for him after that. Should make for an interesting Bristol race.

Big fine and big points dock. Put on probation the rest of the year. They won't suspend him.

That pissed me off too. I had him for my fantasy pick..needed him to finish in the Top 10...he was close. DAMN IT!

Kurt was showing off his gear grabbing from drag racing on those restarts. They mentioned his Gatornationals race next week.

Nice race by the deuce today. Also a nice quiet 2nd for the #17. He has had solid finishes every race this season.

JMO but I liked the move by Edwards. Show that punk that he isn't hot shit. Keselowski has been driving over his head since he got into cup and got a little piece back today.

What did that 'punk' do? Oh boy..he didn't let out of the gas so Edwards could move in front of him? It wasn't his fault Edwards dumb ass came down the track when he wasn't clear. I guess he needs to take that up with his spotter.

i'm all for payback and understand where edwards is coming from, but i'd like to do it in the next race. doing it the same day is all too suspicious and on the type of track he did it on, there could have been some big injuries.

If Edwards was smart he'd have waited until Bristol, where this type of stuff is meant to happen on the track, but him taking this way too personal and intentionally spinning a guy and not being apologetic at all about it except that Brad flipped makes him come off as an arrogant piece of trash. You don't spin someone out going 190 on a straightaway like that. I would not be shocked at all if he's suspended a race. NASCAR suspended Harvick a race in 03 I think because he spun someone on pit road intentionally in a truck race. If NASCAR wants to make a stand he should be docked at least 100 points or sit a race. There's settling things on the track, then there's being an idiot.

I'm all for payback too..when you have a reason to pay someone back. I mean..if you wreck b/c you fucked up..that's on you. Not the car you ran into.

And this is TWICE now that he came down on the front of Brad's car.

Hey, Brad is a full timer Cup guy now too, with sponsors too. He is out there points racing just like the other 42 guys!!

Cousin Carl just lost my respect, as well as, JMO, many others around NASCAR!!

They told them to police themselves... well they'll definitely be more careful the next time they're racing each other. Seems like that's what they want. Hopefully no penalties/fines
