Hard to argue he didn't when the supposed professional keeps "somehow" pitting Edwards. If you have bump the other racer because your "tires wont stick" it's because you shouldn't have dove down there in the first place; I'm not even an *amateur,* and I know that. The clown keeps trying to dive down the inside when he has no line; If you don't even have your front wheels parallel with the other car's rear wheels, you do NOT have the room to make that dive. Brad is a hack, and I don't feel sorry for him at all.
It's nascars staple of popularity. As bad as an outcome can be. Drama brings excitement and views. Who the hell wants to watch a race with no cautions or drama race after race? That's why their views have tanked. They just shot themselves in the foot by taking dillon out the playoffs
@@perrywebb5833I have never seen an organization so determined to ruin its own product. The France family seems to have become fond of the old saying “If it ain’t broke, smash it repeatedly with a hammer until it’s completely unrecognizable.” It all started with the Chase for the Cup series some 20 years ago and it’s been spiraling down the drain ever since.
Everybody has their limit and if someone looks like they are purposefully pushing that, things are going to happen. If somehow a person doesn't know this, then they're going to learn it real quick the hard way. Nice guys have higher limits, but everything breaks down with enough stress and pressure.
It’s nice to see someone finally mention everything in the race leading up to Carl flipping Brad. People only ever show the wreck, and completely skip over the premeditation and failed attempt to the previous lap. The fact he was only given a 3-race probation from NASCAR is wild.
That was about a month after Nascar's "boys have at it" announcement. It was a mistake, and I was all for it in my opinion. It's led to the mess we have today. In a weird way, black flags for aggressive driving, despite being a ball and strike call, helped restrain the sport in a positive way.
That’s the exact same way I feel about the Matt kensith ordeal with Joey. Matt was always kind of jerk hence the Matt the brat nickname he was throwing bad blocks and hitting people and the same thing with Kyle Busch in that Truck race with horniday they ignore the fact that he wrecked Kyle not long before Kyle wrecked him. But of course no one ever brings those things up and when they show the Matt getting dumped by Joey video they leave out the 5 laps before that when Matt was doing anything to keep Joey behind him. I don’t blame Joey for wrecking him especially after that last block he threw.
@@dedo7326 the Matt and Joey situation was much different. Kenseth's season was on the line, Joey was already locked in. It was the first time under the stupid format that situation happened. Ricky Craven had the best take on it, I remember. He spoke to drivers were furious with Brian France defending the move, calling it "quintessential" was not at all what was needed. Between a lack of a conversation from Joey, France running his mouth, Brad crashing into Matt (he claimed he broke a tie rod, but given the circumstance it's understandable that neither Matt or Radcliffe believed him), and NASCAR completely losing control of the sport that year, Kenseth wrecking Logano was inevitable. And it was needed. Probably the worst officiated playoff season since the chase began. It was bigger than two drivers. Kenseth did himself, his team, NASCAR, the drivers, (including Joey), and the fans a favor. The season itself needed to implode. Between the debris caution at Cali when Kurt was driving the race of his life, after they suspended Kurt without actually being charged, the lackluster racing with the drop in horsepower that year, (although it's still better than today lol), Nascar suddenly forgetting what a restart is, refused to black flag Gordon, then black flagged Keselowski for nothing the next week, then the Talladega fiasco, which all started when they refused to go green until Biffle went down pit road.n
He only got a 3 race probation because he cannot control what Brad’s car does after he wrecked him. In fact even a 3 race probation is kind of harsh compared to what NASCAR levied against drivers before and since the crash.
Looks like it's a common scenario, they have kids and become more mature because of it, examples I can also think of are Kevin Magnussen and Max Verstappen
In my opinion, most of Carl's critics are overlooking the aftermath of the incidents he had with drivers. Kenseth at Martinsville? Carl regretted his gesture and then they went on to be great friends. The feud with Keselowski? Brad went on to say on his own blog that he did and always would respect Carl, and that's evident with how they never got into scrapes again. Carl made a lot of mistakes earlier on in his career, huge ones, and he certainly made himself look like a jock at times. However, he evidently grew and matured from those incidents, because not one of the criticisms people have of Carl are actually from later in his career. His late Roush stint and time at JGR? The people who recycle the same few "Carl is a psycho" points have nothing to say in response, because Carl learned and he grew up. Instead of throwing hands with Logano and his crew in 2016, he took the loss on the chin and went out a class act. Can drivers not grow and change? Making huge assumptions about his character based on what you see on the TV is ridiculous and unfounded when you actually look further into it.
Agreed, only point you missed was that Carl is no different than many others that came before or after him. Carl Edwards, Dale Earnhardt, Tony Stewart, Cale Yarborough, and the Busch brothers were all cut from the same cloth. Retaliation has been a part of racing since the day you put two drivers on a track riding tricycles and told them a trophy was at stake. Keselowski may have got a little more than what he deserved in Atlanta, but the point was made and I do not remember the pair trading paint afterwards. On the other hand, Kenseth had it coming and then some. Both drivers failed to control their car and in some way that failure negatively impacted Carl's race, multiple times. I would have no trouble making the same psycho argument with what Kenseth did to Logano at Martinsville. Honestly, Logano got away with a little less than what he had coming. In my opinion, Moscar (pot stirrer) needs to find better things to do with his time, a high quality videographer he is not.
@@razburry8001 Matt and Carl Edwards are not, and never have been great friends. They respected eachother at the ends of the careers, but to say friends is a joke. Carl was all for the cameras dude, and he was even better with the camera’s than he was in a car.
When nice people snap, its worse than when your average person snaps. Nice people have a larger bottle for storing anger, which means they dont release it as much. But once this bottle does fill up, theres so much more being let out than usual. TLDR; nice people snap worse but less often
I have a good feeling at the 07 martinsville race Carl is anted to show Matt Kenseth was scared or that he would flinch. I think that smile was a laugh
@@destroyertank1 nearly killing people is not the fucking point. just because carl was right to retaliate in some way does not mean he is right in the way he retaliated. honestly at that point if youre that mad and dont care about being penalized confront him after the race and punch him in the face. at the very least you arent going to kill him
Reminds of how baskeball players can go at it yet become good teammates or friends later on. There are lots of rules and lots of etiquette, and both get crossed. Everyone is a competitor trying to win, which sort of goes against being nice, yet especially in nascar you reply on the other racers to get those speeds and to drive well to keep things safe. So you have to have that mutual respect for in hairy moments. IMO most feuds and scuffles are just how it goes between competitors and they shouldn't really be held against drivers unless they are clearly a terror on the track all the time.
Yeah I thought both times he crashes him were basically deserved. 1st the other guy tries ro do it for him and the 2nd was just him playing the game cause it wouldnt be possible if the other guy was a better racer and so its kinda ridculous to expect things like that to NOT occur in such a professional competition. He shouldnt have been fined just for trying his best to win. Its either a car problem or a problem with the game, not on him.
i’m so glad he got into the hall of fame. he is still so underrated, he gave away so much to not race like a dick, and he never won a championship for it. he deserved atleast one
Great video and meaningful words at the end. Couldn't have said it any better! I wish more people would have this outlook on anyone in this world. There is no perfect human. I'm happy for Edwards getting into the HOF.
I recall that the Keselowski-Edwards rivalry would end at the Nationwide series race at Watkins Glen after they finished 1-2 but raced cleanly with each other.
Carl Edwards was who I rooted for when I was big into NASCAR but everything that happened with Brad just seems wrong. It really leaves me torn on Edwards.
I’m a MO boy which naturally I cheered for Cousin Carl! I got to meet him and several drivers in 15 at Kansas. Carl was by far the biggest jerk which really surprised me. I still cheered for him and always chalked it up to a dont meet your hero’s type thing!
He was my favorite racer. I think during that era 2008-2011 it was a nice guy in a extremely competitive sport with no real outlet for frustration. And it showed on the track unfortunately. I was lucky enough to meet him once. My dad's Cousin for years was apart of his crew team then became one of big people in charge at Toyota when they got into NASCAR. Got me a hot pass in Michigan around 2007.
Knowing from personal experience, sometimes the scariest, most cruel evil disgusting and downright awful people are the nicest most hidden in plain sight humans
carl punking kenseth when he pretended he was gonna punch is is my fave clip of all time ahahah how any one could take kenseth acting tough after that serious is beyond me lol
i find this very similar to Matt Kenseths career, was a clean respectable driver who avoided drama. but then once he got older and joined Joe Gibbs his temper started showing alot more, Specifically to Penske Drivers ;-;
Isn’t this “nicest driver” the same one that slammed into Dale jr. after the race while Dale had his hand out waving, then charged victory lane and grab him by the throat. Also spun out on the track while nobody was within 200 ft of him and started cussing about getting revenge on who spun him? Although that one was hilarious. I mean everyone knows Casper was a dirty driver. Dude had serious anger issues for real.
The one with the least amount of anger always has a reason why you don’t see them mad. They are afraid of their rage or see it as wrong. They manage their anger but when that anger is released be prepared….
Carl has good sportsmanship but if you piss him off he's gonna flip that switch. If you get a usually happy, charismatic, and professional guy upset you'd better watch out.
We have heard the saying that "the nicest people are also the scariest" and it is mostly true. Human are just unable to contain all of their emotions forever. People do need to unleash whatever inner trouble they have at some point. And those who unable to do so probably go insane, or at worst, cease their existance from the world. There is simply no "get over it". It's not as simple as "ah just move on and forget about what happen" no, that is not happening. Everyone will remember and snap it out at some point. Unfortunately tho, due to the contrast of these actions, all those good deeds that has been done prior to this point is often being overlooked. People will then start avoiding contact with them even seemingly forgetting that they were a nice person prior. A sad reality that has happen to me personally too.
I still believe that he was robbed in his last race and that someone had remote control of Lagono's car. ( Pretty sure it was Joey, memory not in stone)
The carl and matt stuff happened in 2006, carl also had issues that year with Tony and Dale Jr. He was immediately fast and things went his way in 2005. I think a lot of the run ins that year, had to do with the sport "humbling" a young talent.
100. This is just a nascar fan being a nascar fan. Aka. Rose tinted glasses. When it's done to my driver it's unforgivable when there driver dose it it's...let the excuses begin on why it wasn't that big of a deal and shouldn't be seen as the same thing as when others do it.
@@deathmachineyt3254 when? As far as I can remember thare was the one time. Talladega and Atlanta were on Carl and his bad blocks. when? If you can't tell me when I can't look it up and see and if I can't look it up and see it didn't happen. Tell me when.
I think people are *way* overthinking this. Considering his past, I think he's just a guy that realised how he was when he was younger, and actively tried to change. There was a period (this video) where the "old him" would come out if he felt he was extremely wronged by someone, but he *still* recanted it later every incident. The fact that he's stayed mostly out of trouble since just looks like a guy who wanted to change for the better, had some hiccups, but ultimately did in the end. If anything, these incidents should be a reflection that nobody just "changes" for the better instantly, but rather there's always a "transition phase" where you have to fight your old self.
Haven’t watched the video, but Carls tv nice guy fooled a lot of people how how many incidents he had. Never could stand him because he would do the aw schucks routine. If we really analyzed he and Harvicks career past then being buddies with all the media, people would see they were the biggest asses in the track
I find it funny how so many people wreck a guy for a spot, and intentionally do manoeuvres that are likely to cause another person to crash, but only when it's fuelled by revenge and targeted instead of done to whoever random is beside you does it make you some sort of monster. People like Dale Earnhardt caused people to crash out constantly, and just because most of those times weren't dangerous for the other driver everyone is fine with it.
I've NEVER heard of Carl being called a nice guy lmao, he wrecked me in inside line once and has since been the worst, meanest, most disrespectful driver in history. Matt Kenseth is the real nice guy.
If Carl Edwards didn't have charisma and do backflips after wins I think he'd be one of the most hated drivers in NASCAR history for what he did to Brad.
Brad Keselowski wasn't a popular driver back then, if anything he had a history of rough driving in Xfinity and even admitted he was too aggressive, now he's popular because he's a veteran driver but rookie Brad Keselowski wasn't too popular...at least I really disliked him maybe other people liked him and I was the only one who didn't.
I was a huge Carl Edwards fan, and with Mark Martin "retiring", he was my go-to favorite. The Matt Kenseth moment made him look like a dumb bully jock. Yeah, he wore the dumb "awe shucks" smile well, but that was just dumb. I was still a fan, but this showed he was no Mark Martin.
I'm in complete agreement at the end of the video. Saying shouldn't judge people by their lowest moments. But how are some of these incidents not attempted murder?
Really really miss Carl Edwards. I’m a diehard Chevy fan, but our house was always a fan of Carl. Sucks that nascar ruined a good driver that should’ve won a championship
I've been told by many nascar fans they watch for moments like these lowest moments and the crashes that are caused by them. I have a hard time watching because of that and the fact it's just turning left. I really want to understand peoples love of oval outside of the drama and violence which I don't enjoy but I can't find any other reason behind the sport's popularity. I was recently told the side by side racing but other diciplines have that too and they don't just turn left. If someone could explain that'd be amazing.
That wreck at gateway is why I don't like Carl Edward's, and why I started to like keselowski, the wreck at dega was an accident, a result of a late block, but the flip at Atlanta, at the spin at gateway, that was uncalled for.
Brad Keselowski: dies
Carl Edwards' spotter: YOU ARE THE MAN!! HE DESERVED IT!!
No different than Earhardt Bristol
Man, imagined if he did? That would've been one of the most ironically darkest quotes in not just NASCAR history, but all of motorsport.
lol
"GOOD JOB!!" gah damn
Hard to argue he didn't when the supposed professional keeps "somehow" pitting Edwards.
If you have bump the other racer because your "tires wont stick" it's because you shouldn't have dove down there in the first place; I'm not even an *amateur,* and I know that.
The clown keeps trying to dive down the inside when he has no line; If you don't even have your front wheels parallel with the other car's rear wheels, you do NOT have the room to make that dive.
Brad is a hack, and I don't feel sorry for him at all.

Y’all don’t understand that someone can just put on a smile and pretend to be someone they’re not in front of cameras? Sheesh
Honestly, I feel like Carl didn’t mean for it to be that bad on both cases. He just wanted revenge, but it managed to turn out as bad as it did.
The one with the least amount of anger always has a reason why you don’t see them mad. They are afraid of their rage or see it as wrong. They manage their anger but when that anger is released be prepared….
He was absolutely not NASCAR’s nicest driver lmao, you are looking at him through rose tinted glasses.
After Carl left NASCAR I did to. Him and Mark Martin were my favourite drivers growing up.
I feel like enough people do not talk about the incident at Memphis which led up to the feud between the 2
Carl Edwards was my favorite driver. Great guy and solid driver
2:48 I love Carl. He completely punked Kenseth out
Thats why he was one of my favourite NASCAR drivers.
4:09 Should'a counted. Fite me. He finished. Show me the rule where it says you gotta be in the car to finish.
No one wrecks someone for the win
Austin Dillon: Hold my Beer
Carl has good sportsmanship but if you piss him off he's gonna flip that switch. If you get a usually happy, charismatic, and professional guy upset you'd better watch out.
when the nicest guy snaps you know what's going to happen to you
Never ever underestimate the wrath of a gentle man.
You missed the time when Carl Edwards nearly ripped Dale Jr's hand off in that 2006 Michigan race.
He was fast AND furious
Humans break. No matter how nice you are. Your gonna snap. Just remind yourself that your better than that. Its all you can do.
same as pissing off the nice teacher.
We have heard the saying that "the nicest people are also the scariest" and it is mostly true.
Human are just unable to contain all of their emotions forever. People do need to unleash whatever inner trouble they have at some point. And those who unable to do so probably go insane, or at worst, cease their existance from the world.
There is simply no "get over it". It's not as simple as "ah just move on and forget about what happen" no, that is not happening. Everyone will remember and snap it out at some point.
Unfortunately tho, due to the contrast of these actions, all those good deeds that has been done prior to this point is often being overlooked. People will then start avoiding contact with them even seemingly forgetting that they were a nice person prior. A sad reality that has happen to me personally too.
Back in my day this sort of thing was why we watched NASCAR. Now it's all about being courteous.
I still believe that he was robbed in his last race and that someone had remote control of Lagono's car. ( Pretty sure it was Joey, memory not in stone)
The carl and matt stuff happened in 2006, carl also had issues that year with Tony and Dale Jr. He was immediately fast and things went his way in 2005. I think a lot of the run ins that year, had to do with the sport "humbling" a young talent.
He wasn't the nicest driver. He spent a year and a half wrecking Brad for a wreck that was his fault to begin with.
100. This is just a nascar fan being a nascar fan. Aka. Rose tinted glasses. When it's done to my driver it's unforgivable when there driver dose it it's...let the excuses begin on why it wasn't that big of a deal and shouldn't be seen as the same thing as when others do it.
💯
Are we gonna ignore the part where Brad wrecked his race for him MULTIPLE times? He didn't wreck him just once.
@@deathmachineyt3254 when? As far as I can remember thare was the one time. Talladega and Atlanta were on Carl and his bad blocks. when? If you can't tell me when I can't look it up and see and if I can't look it up and see it didn't happen. Tell me when.
@robertstone9988 how is Atlanta Carl's fault? More of a Racing incident, plus Brad wrecked any chance of a win for him at Memphis
I think people are *way* overthinking this. Considering his past, I think he's just a guy that realised how he was when he was younger, and actively tried to change. There was a period (this video) where the "old him" would come out if he felt he was extremely wronged by someone, but he *still* recanted it later every incident. The fact that he's stayed mostly out of trouble since just looks like a guy who wanted to change for the better, had some hiccups, but ultimately did in the end. If anything, these incidents should be a reflection that nobody just "changes" for the better instantly, but rather there's always a "transition phase" where you have to fight your old self.
Haven’t watched the video, but Carls tv nice guy fooled a lot of people how how many incidents he had. Never could stand him because he would do the aw schucks routine.
If we really analyzed he and Harvicks career past then being buddies with all the media, people would see they were the biggest asses in the track
Had a video sticker of signature action shown.
Taken by the employer by exchanging like a deal made with his whatever.
Carl: (laughs) I don't wanna kill you, what would I do without you? 🙂
Hated Carl after that Wreck until he retired
I find it funny how so many people wreck a guy for a spot, and intentionally do manoeuvres that are likely to cause another person to crash, but only when it's fuelled by revenge and targeted instead of done to whoever random is beside you does it make you some sort of monster. People like Dale Earnhardt caused people to crash out constantly, and just because most of those times weren't dangerous for the other driver everyone is fine with it.
I've NEVER heard of Carl being called a nice guy lmao, he wrecked me in inside line once and has since been the worst, meanest, most disrespectful driver in history. Matt Kenseth is the real nice guy.
😂🤣
I think it's more of him trying to be nice it bottling up and he got tired of being pushed around
Carl was the best driver at the track! He truly was a nice guy! I miss him so much!!! 😢❤😊
He has never been known as the nicest driver, maybe second nicest but mark martin has always topped that list
Martin and Kenseth.
If Carl Edwards didn't have charisma and do backflips after wins I think he'd be one of the most hated drivers in NASCAR history for what he did to Brad.
Brad Keselowski wasn't a popular driver back then, if anything he had a history of rough driving in Xfinity and even admitted he was too aggressive, now he's popular because he's a veteran driver but rookie Brad Keselowski wasn't too popular...at least I really disliked him maybe other people liked him and I was the only one who didn't.
I was a huge Carl Edwards fan, and with Mark Martin "retiring", he was my go-to favorite. The Matt Kenseth moment made him look like a dumb bully jock. Yeah, he wore the dumb "awe shucks" smile well, but that was just dumb.
I was still a fan, but this showed he was no Mark Martin.
Video was made with rose colored glasses. Roid Rage Carl was a ticking time bomb.
I'm in complete agreement at the end of the video. Saying shouldn't judge people by their lowest moments. But how are some of these incidents not attempted murder?
Don't be afraid of loud talking wannabes, fear the quiet ones!
Really really miss Carl Edwards. I’m a diehard Chevy fan, but our house was always a fan of Carl. Sucks that nascar ruined a good driver that should’ve won a championship
Good guys bottle a lot of ugly inside. It doesn't come out of nowhere it just collects interest.
It’s like that Simpsons episode where Flanders finally snaps
You are always one bad day away from madness.
There’s definitely something happening between him and Brad behind the scenes. Would not have it out for him over just the races
I've been told by many nascar fans they watch for moments like these lowest moments and the crashes that are caused by them. I have a hard time watching because of that and the fact it's just turning left. I really want to understand peoples love of oval outside of the drama and violence which I don't enjoy but I can't find any other reason behind the sport's popularity. I was recently told the side by side racing but other diciplines have that too and they don't just turn left.
If someone could explain that'd be amazing.
Many of my Army buddies have dubbed me as, "the coolest douche-bag I've ever known."
Suffice to say, it shall be my legacy forevermore...
That wreck at gateway is why I don't like Carl Edward's, and why I started to like keselowski, the wreck at dega was an accident, a result of a late block, but the flip at Atlanta, at the spin at gateway, that was uncalled for.
Edwards after that lost 2 championships, racing gods are crazy
