Forget Carl Pavano. How about that Carl Edwards!!!

Carl Edwards won last night at Bristol, his second straight victory, third in four weeks and sixth this season. But this one came with some controversy.

I didn't see it because I was watching another Carl, but from reading the stories here's what I gathered. Edwards couldn't pass Kyle Busch, who led for 415 straight laps. So Edwards nudged his bumper on lap 470, and that opened enough room to get by him.

So is that move acceptable? What do you say? Here's Edwards' explanation: "I couldn't get by him, and I just had to ask myself, `Would he do that to me?' And he has before, so that's the way it goes."

Apparently Busch disapproved and let Edwards know about it by bumping his car during his cool-down lap. Edwards responded by "driving the nose of his car into the right side of Busch's," according to The Associated Press story.

Pretty cool stuff, I must say.

Great stuff. Of course it isn't racing but that's what taxi cab driving is about. Like the NHL is about fighting, NFL is about gambling, NBA is about slam dunks and Carl Pavano is about getting the most money for the littlest effort.
