“We’ll race like this until we kill somebody, then [NASCAR] will change it.”

Of course at that point it will be too late for that somebody, but in the meantime at least we’ll get to see a good show, right?

Seven people were injured Sunday at Talladega Superspeedway, victims of the spectacular last-lap crash that saw Edwards’ 3,400-pound race car spiraling through the air, then slamming into the catch fence that separated him from fans only a few feet away.

That, not Brad Keselowski winning his first Sprint Cup Series race, is what will be remembered about the Aaron’s 499. Most who were there left the track ecstatic, even if Dale Earnhardt Jr. did wind up second, because they got to see the best race of the season.

Was the wreck scary? Yes.

Was the wreck dangerous to the fans? Yes.

Should they change anything at Talladega because of it? No.

Just because there was a horrific wreck that sent a car into the fence, that doesn’t mean that drastic changes need to be made. The fence held. It did it’s job. No one was seriously injured. Carl Edwards wasn’t injured because of the safety of the Car of Tomorrow.

So all these whiners need to shut up.
