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.
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 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
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
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.
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.
Knowing from personal experience, sometimes the scariest, most cruel evil disgusting and downright awful people are the nicest most hidden in plain sight humans
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.
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 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
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!
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.
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)
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.
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
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.
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.
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 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 ;-;
Carl has always been a fake and twofaced type of guy. It’s not only this. He has a goody two shoes “aw shucks” kind of personality he wears but he’s always been this way in truth.
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
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.
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.
You have "NASCAR's nicest driver" in the title & you're talking about Carl Edwards??? Not Mark Martin. Not Johnny Benson... But *Carl Edwards!?... BRUH!?...* 😲😲😲😲😲
You'd have to look long and hard to find a more detested driver on the dirt tracks of Missouri. He burned so many bridges and broke so many hand shake deals with car owners, he'd be lucky to land a seat in a street stock. He's a tool.
Martinsville 2007 was THE REAL CARL. the fake nice guy is an act, its for the camera's. if you know people in the insutry, ask them what they thought about carl when the camera's were off.
Very good video. Carl Edwards is my favorite driver. It was heartbreaking to know that he came so close twice to win a championship. Seeing Keselowski then and now, he still has a tendency to make moves or do things that still cause wrecks. While he may not have meant to flip Carl at Talledega, it was the wrong time to pass. Had he started the move going to the flat from the tri-oval, then Carl at worst just spins out. I remember the race where Carl came back from being wrecked, but I didn't remember him trying to wreck Brad for that long. Much to how Brad did not mean to flip Carl, Carl didn't mean to flip Brad. Both cases came at the worst track to do it on. Had they waited for a track that was with less speed, then the outcome would have been different. I wonder if in the back of Carl's mind that he had to get Brad back specifically for the tandem flip? Carl just meant to wreck, but those cars during that time were so sensitive to flipping. The moment the roof flaps came up, the car got airborne. An unintended result yet probably the best outcome from both of these wrecks is Nascar realizing the wing on the back of the COT car was the worst thing they could have possibly done. Seeing cars flips so much made Nascar go back to the spoiler. Nascar was never Nascar with that wing. It looked cool, but the racing at some tracks was just terrible. So while Carl's wreck on Brad was very much his fault, the overarching unintended result was Nascar taking notice on how the cars kept flipping and fixing it.
You have the worst most biased take iv ever heard. You sound like the mom who's blaming there being rocks on the bus top for why her kid was throwing rocks at cars😂 I mean I could try and explain why your wrong but I don't thank facts really matter to you. Carl is your guy and you are 100% biased. Carl threw a late block at talladega that crash was 100% his fault. How you can blame Brad or nascar for that is hilarious. Also at Atlanta Brad is clearly to Carl's inside and Carl comes down again and wrecks him self again. Then throws a temper tantrum and turns Brad on PURPOSE at one of the fastest tracks and puts him in the fence and put not just brads life but fans life's at risk. Late blocks is how he lost his championship in his last year, throwing a lat block on joey. You understand that it's not the responsibility of the car beside you to lift so you don't turn your self on there hood right? Common sense would tell you if that was the case then no one could ever pass because you could just come down or up on them and force them to lift every time. The mental gymnastics you are doing hear is good enough to make the Paris games. This is not even bringing up the right hook he pulled on Brad that wrecked the whole feald. You will make the best mom ever 😂 my baby didn't do nothing wrong!
No one thinks Carl meant to flip Brad, but brads move at Talladega wasn’t a bad move at all. Brad did the move perfectly and Carl just didn’t let it stay. Other drivers had done the same type of move and won with it because the other driver didn’t block
1:51 wait hold on. Did you just say that a Martinsville race wasn't covered?!!?! HOW. Like I get a cookie cutter mile and a half not being covered but Martinsville is one of the biggest races!
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.

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
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.
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.
The quite kids life story
After Carl left NASCAR I did to. Him and Mark Martin were my favourite drivers growing up.
It’s like that Simpsons episode where Flanders finally snaps
Carl Edwards is a good guy tho he owns up to his mistakes I commend him for that
You have "NASCAR's nicest driver" in the title & you're talking about Carl Edwards???
Not Mark Martin. Not Johnny Benson... But *Carl Edwards!?... BRUH!?...* 😲😲😲😲😲
Flipping opponents who wreck you is based.
Edwards after that lost 2 championships, racing gods are crazy
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
I think he said with Atlanta
“I’m on the roof I’m ok.”
I’ve noticed something like Carl in sim racing nice guys. It’s like one guy gets on their nerves enough and that specific guy becomes ai
Lmao shitty drivers messing up your race is pretty annoying, and in real life incredibly life threatening
You'd have to look long and hard to find a more detested driver on the dirt tracks of Missouri. He burned so many bridges and broke so many hand shake deals with car owners, he'd be lucky to land a seat in a street stock. He's a tool.
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...
Martinsville 2007 was THE REAL CARL. the fake nice guy is an act, its for the camera's. if you know people in the insutry, ask them what they thought about carl when the camera's were off.
I don't see this as him going crazy...
I see this as the other drivers bullying the nice guy until he was at his breaking point.
DO NOT PISS OFF THE NICE GUY
You don’t get where Carl Edward’s is in life. By being a good guy.
Austin, Dillon
You sure about that ? 8:06
Very good video. Carl Edwards is my favorite driver. It was heartbreaking to know that he came so close twice to win a championship. Seeing Keselowski then and now, he still has a tendency to make moves or do things that still cause wrecks. While he may not have meant to flip Carl at Talledega, it was the wrong time to pass. Had he started the move going to the flat from the tri-oval, then Carl at worst just spins out.
I remember the race where Carl came back from being wrecked, but I didn't remember him trying to wreck Brad for that long. Much to how Brad did not mean to flip Carl, Carl didn't mean to flip Brad. Both cases came at the worst track to do it on. Had they waited for a track that was with less speed, then the outcome would have been different. I wonder if in the back of Carl's mind that he had to get Brad back specifically for the tandem flip? Carl just meant to wreck, but those cars during that time were so sensitive to flipping. The moment the roof flaps came up, the car got airborne.
An unintended result yet probably the best outcome from both of these wrecks is Nascar realizing the wing on the back of the COT car was the worst thing they could have possibly done. Seeing cars flips so much made Nascar go back to the spoiler. Nascar was never Nascar with that wing. It looked cool, but the racing at some tracks was just terrible.
So while Carl's wreck on Brad was very much his fault, the overarching unintended result was Nascar taking notice on how the cars kept flipping and fixing it.
You have the worst most biased take iv ever heard. You sound like the mom who's blaming there being rocks on the bus top for why her kid was throwing rocks at cars😂 I mean I could try and explain why your wrong but I don't thank facts really matter to you. Carl is your guy and you are 100% biased.
Carl threw a late block at talladega that crash was 100% his fault. How you can blame Brad or nascar for that is hilarious. Also at Atlanta Brad is clearly to Carl's inside and Carl comes down again and wrecks him self again. Then throws a temper tantrum and turns Brad on PURPOSE at one of the fastest tracks and puts him in the fence and put not just brads life but fans life's at risk. Late blocks is how he lost his championship in his last year, throwing a lat block on joey. You understand that it's not the responsibility of the car beside you to lift so you don't turn your self on there hood right? Common sense would tell you if that was the case then no one could ever pass because you could just come down or up on them and force them to lift every time. The mental gymnastics you are doing hear is good enough to make the Paris games. This is not even bringing up the right hook he pulled on Brad that wrecked the whole feald. You will make the best mom ever 😂 my baby didn't do nothing wrong!
No one thinks Carl meant to flip Brad, but brads move at Talladega wasn’t a bad move at all. Brad did the move perfectly and Carl just didn’t let it stay. Other drivers had done the same type of move and won with it because the other driver didn’t block
1:51 wait hold on. Did you just say that a Martinsville race wasn't covered?!!?! HOW. Like I get a cookie cutter mile and a half not being covered but Martinsville is one of the biggest races!
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.
Nicest driver? You need to go back and do some more homework
yeah this dudes a psychopath lmao
