CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) NASCAR will not suspend Carl Edwards for intentionally wrecking Brad Keselowski’s car during last weekend’s race at Atlanta.
There had been a loud cry for NASCAR to punish Edwards for returning to the track Sunday after an earlier wreck with Keselowski and then deliberately causing a crash. The contact sent Keselowski’s car flying into the air, and it bounced on its hood off a retaining wall. No one was injured.
A person familiar with NASCAR’s discussions said Edwards will not be suspended for his actions.
NASCAR president Mike Helton is to address the Edwards accident later Tuesday. The person familiar with the decision spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because Helton will be making the official statement.
