Earl's not going to Gibbs after all: Marty Smith (ESPN) wrote: Roush Fenway Racing, the world’s largest motorsports organization, announced that it has re-signed driver Carl Edwards to a multi-year agreement starting in 2012. “Carl Edwards has achieved a level of success on and off track that would put him at the top of the list for any race team,” said Roush Fenway co-owner Jack Roush. “Carl and the No. 99 team are having a terrific season again this year, and we’re thrilled that our relationship will continue for many more.”

When it comes to the COT being crap, he's right. |

The COT is an aero-sensitive, top-heavy racecar with a terrible front end design that creates more problems than it solves. Thankfully it is safer than the old car, so at least it has one thing going for it. |

The COT definitely exposes a driver's shortcomings more than the old car, where the crew chief had more options and could find speed in ways the driver couldn't. |

I love how the article, and a sub article therein, say that he hit a concrete wall with no SAFER barrier. As if that barrier would have prevented any injury in the crash while also implying that Road Atlanta is not safe because it does not have said barrier. Those two rows of tires are pretty soft (comparitively) and he still went through the concrete wall. I doubt the SAFER barrier would have done much of anything. |

The SAFER barrier isn't even designed for impacts at that kind of angle. It's meant more for the kind of angles you normally see on an oval. This is just another case of NASCAR and the NASCAR media stressing its talking points. Remember, they act like they invented the SAFER barrier when it was actually originally developed by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in conjunction with (of all people) Tony George and the IRL. |

Hahaha, a SAFER barrier is much softer than TWO ROWS OF TYRES too! Wonder if the author of the article was aware of that Road Atlanta is a road course (not that it's name implies that). |

Keep in mind that Road Atlanta is an FIA Grade II track (ie no tarmac run-offs, etc.). It's not like they'll butcher the track for a F1 date, anyway. |

Good thing it didn't have a tarmac runoff in T1. Brad lost his brakes, if he'd gone across a parking lot vs. a sandpit he'd have hit the wall harder than he did. Sweet lord I hope they don't knee jerk anything dumb. Road Atlanta is still a real racetrack. Fast, flowing and makes you pay for mistakes. The article did bring up a decent point on testing though. Let them test at the tracks they race at. All they have to do is go back to giving each team the approved 5 test days policy (or some form similar). I realize they did away with that for cost and so that the smaller teams weren't penalized so much, but let's be real, the smaller teams aren't hurting due to a lack of testing. They'd need to have a budget for that first. Besides, most of the teams have an alliance with one of the bigger teams anyway so engineering and test data flow back and forth to some degree. I do not mean to imply that Brad made a mistake in his crash. My statement on Road Atlanta was just my general feeling of the circuit |

Easily one of the top five tracks in the country. |

Earl's not going to be running all of the Nationwide races next year, but he's still going to be there. |
