Do you think it's fair that Carl Edwards has been put on probation for three Spring Cup races because he intentionally wrecked Brad Keselowski at the Atlanta Motor Speedway?

What goes around comes around; he deserves to have to look over his shoulder for a while!
NASCAR's letting him off easy. He should have gotten a greater punishment.
Edwards gave us back some "old school" racing, so why penalize him for it?
Just make him pay a fine and get over it! Don't take away the man's right to race the way he wants.
