I was surprised he got punished at all, although I felt he needed it, up to getting parked Saturday night. I must say I'm looking forward to the NW race Saturday night at ORP. That race is usually more interesting than the boring Brickyard most years anyways.<br><br>
I think the comparison to the Harvick thing back in '02 is a little misleading because as I recall, Harvick was behaving like a petulant teenager through the first half of that year. I think for instance, he ended one race, and parked his race car by the NASCAR trailer. I do believe Bill France sat him for showing up the 'powers to be' as much as punishing him for dumping other drivers.<br><br>
I suspect Jack Roush's sponsors will get into Edward's ear over this and have as much an impact as anyone.
