As Carl Edwards pulled away from his booth in the Cobalt Tools 400 Sunday and television cameras at a commercial break disappears queue, a tire can be seen rolling for a very short time.
It has a sanction, most everyone thought. Only it was not.
In the same round of pit stops, who scored two of NASCAR Kevin Harvick and Jeff Burton for speeding, and Tony Stewart was penalized for getting the air hose in his stand, Edwards seems to get away with no consequences when tires out of his crew.
Under the rules of NASCAR, crews must be in control of the platform at any time during a pit stop. In this case, an unmanned tire was rolled into the pit box behind Edwards, when a team gave chase to retrieve it.
He was one of two incidents at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, which has left fans scratching their heads and wondering if NASCAR was the double standards of different drivers. Other performances were garage altercation between Robby Gordon and Kevin Conway, Conway, who led the local police, press charges and put on probation Gordon NASCAR.
